Out of all your options, the LSS is easier to install.
I went with the Ripper and I am happy with it.
I have not tried any of the other ones though.

I'm a big fan of my Pro 5.0 with my Jarods short stick. I got the JSS for cheap, but if you get the Pro 5.0, just cut the stick about an inch and you will have a short stick.

I've shifted a ripper and I like my Pro 5.0 a little better. But you can't go wrong with either.

If you have the factory hurst, just get a short stick though.

Pretty much hehe. Before you spend it, I would do a last minute search.

I have used the factory hurst with Jarrods Short Stick for a while it works great.
I just bought a Kirban billet shifter and put it in with the JSS. All I can say is wow I did not think it would be this much better than the hurst. I have shifted the pro 5.0 as well and it is very similar to the Kirban.

In comparison the Hurst is Notchy and the Kirban is smooth. Its like Butta

Are all factory shifters the same? Hurst? I'm also looking at installing a 5.0 or a Ripper in my 2000 WS6.

Ive got a Kirban shifter that I will sell for $100. Not as popular as the Pro 5.0 or Ripper, but it is a great shifter. The 2nd to 3rd shift is the best in the business and doesn't make any noise like the Pro 5.0 does.
