Default Strut Tower Brace?

Who makes the best? I see the SLP one in summit for $100 or so and the hotchkis one for $211. The SLP one looks like it would take up less space, where as the Hotchkis one looks like it would be more rigid. Any ideas? This is going on a '99 WS6. Thanks in advance,
-Jason

Don't worry about rigidity because all this piece does
is settle down the shaking.

I prefer the Hotchkiss because it's easily removable
for work and sits further back.

I have a Hotchkis and it is great. Looks a lot nicer than a regular BMR brace.
