do a search. theres no "best"...its all personal taste.
from what ive read-
pro50- good shifter, adjustable, but described as "notchy".
billet hurst- everyone that has one seems to like it, but not that many people do.
i dont even know what a "mbm" is.
when i get a short throw, ill be getting an mgw.

I have had a factory hurst and a Pro5.0. I went back to the factory hurst because the Pro5.0 wasnt comfortable for me. I am either going to get a hurst billet plus or mgw next, but I'm leaning more towards the hurst cause the mgw looks too short for my liking.
But I spun a rod bearing last month so I wont get to try a new shifter till next year.

The MGW stick was too short for me also, I machined a new 1" longer stick and it made a world of difference. Actualy faster and smoother with the longer stick.
Thats a good idea, I may try and do the same thing. Did you machine a new stick yourself? I like longer shifters also, for the same reason that its faster and smoother to shift.
