I am partial to the Fastline Shifter for performance duties....for regular folks I say Stock is the best.

I had a B&M, but just bought a Skunk2 this weekend. It was a good investment to say the least. The stock shifter really isn't bad, but lacks the confidence of the SK2. If you get the skunk2 **** also, like I did, it may make the feel even better than w/o it. It also sits at pretty much the same height as stock, but shifting is obviously improved. The SK2 has a sealed bearing in the bottom of the shifter, that makes a huge difference in feel v.s stock plastic bushings.
Overall I've noticed shorter throws with otherwise stock characteristics as far a looks ect. It significantly reduced the sloppyness of the stock shifter and gave my car a greater confidence through the gears. I'd say buy it, if not get a C's b/c everyone swears by them so I'd imagine their pretty nice. Although quite a bit more expensive than even a 125.00 SK2.

I have found this works the best.I had the skunk 2 shifter for awhile but I liked the stock one better.
