Default Which Adjustable Panhard design is best?? (tried to search)

I just tried to do a search on Adjusable Panhard rods, and couldnt get past the basics. So Far I read that the better designs are where the adjusting nut is towards the ends, and that some have had problems with BMR's center adjust panhard.

I see there are a couple different designs such as: single adjuster on one end, adjustable on both ends, and then the one thats adjusable on one side but its a few inches from the end.) Is there any advantages with one or the other?
I'm not lookign to spend $200 on some of the ones I've seen. The main reason I'm doing it is because I'm gona put a pro-kit on my car, and was told I'll need an adjustable PHR. I've seen a couple in the FS section from $80 to $100. Is there a company I should steer AWAY from??

Sorry if this has been asked a lot and I couldnt find it.

I got the spohn with a rod end on one side and poly on. Single adjustable. I got it speed inc. Nice piece. They have a sale now. I got it fast. Spend the money and get a good one.

The single side adjustable requires removal from the car to adjust. You don't want that.

The BMR with the adjustment in the middle is just a bad design, don't waste your money on it.

The best design is a solid rod with threaded rod ends in each end. Just get on with high quality rod ends. The rod ends should not add any noise if you are worried about that. Here is an idea of prices and places:

Spohn $160
LG Motorsports $199
Unbalanced Engineering $145
or make one yourself for about $95
