LG's reuire no modification to the spindles and are lighter.
UMI's are beefier and require some modding, but are probably the style I would go with. I'd probably get the UMIs and use it with a pair of LT1 spindles as you can use UMIs with either LT1 or LS1 style spindles.

Ok, once more. The LG kit is for the LS1 PAB and has holes that are too small for the C5 PAB which means that the C6 Z51 and C6 Z06 stuff will not directly "bolt on". I'm not saying anything bad about the LG kit, just that the C6 stuff will not bolt to that kit without some modifications (and I can't judge if there is enough material left to do that). That leaves the UMI kit or the trackbrackets kit that use the C5 parts which will fit the C6 stuff. That's all I was trying to explain.
