The Summit ones are very nice for the price, but are not tall enough to clear a stud girdle. I ended up getting the Canton ones and I'm very pleased with them, although motor has never been fired to see if leaking was a problem. Morosos were nice but too much $$$ and I've heard they have a tendency to leak as well. I can get pics soon.

I've got the cheapo Summits (on my el-cheapo car) and I like them.

Dirty yes.
I had to make holes for my breathers and I threw away the sorry excuse for bolts they use too. I got some 5.5"x1/4" stainless bolts, 1/4" stainless washers and rubber spacers to make my own bolts for about $30. They won't rust like the junk Summit sent me.
