I've been looking into the same thing...
There is the 20MM tenabe which uses the factory bolts/mounting spots and uses the factory endlinks, bolts to lower control arm.
~225 shipped
Then there is the ST and Progress bars.
ST is 7/8ths (22.2mm) and bolts to the bottom of the shock
~175 shipped
Progress offers a 22mm and a 24mm adjustable, also bolts to the bottom of the shock
~175 shipped for 22mm
~225 shipped for 24mm
Lastly there is the grand daddy 32MM ASR bar.
~550 shipped (inline four or kingmotorsports)
I really like the tenabe because you don't have to worry about exhaust clearance and it bolts directly to your old factory setup, but it is only 20MM

Re: what rear sway bar are you running? (BigDare23)
Im running the st bar. I got lucky that it just barely clears my custom catback that i had made before i put the sway on. One downside though is i can hear a very minor vibration from the bar hitting the exhaust sometimes.
As for the performance of the bar i ran it at the middle setting for 5 months or so after installing it and just recently i set it to the stiffest setting. At either setting it performed really well, quite a bit better at the stiffest setting though.

This is the Progress adjusrable kit. It does the job well. Spot welding the brackets to the subframe is recommended. However I would stay away from Progress because it end up cracking my subframe (4 years later, with tons of track time):
My new set-up, Suspension Technique. Easy install. However, I had an issue with my Brospeed muffler.
Installs like OEM points (not my picture)
Swaybar hitting the muffler:
The spacing that is needed:

I think I am going to go either ST or Tenabe.
I wish ST was black and not bright green now :-/ I am worried that it won't clear my exhaust.
Tenabe is really nice because it uses ALL OEM mounts and clears exhaust no problem

I'm running the ST front and rear bars. Total difference when I took the car for a spin with these on. Only down fall is the rear bar may hit certain exhaust setups. I have a custom 2.5 inch exhaust setup and it hits my exhaust when I make left turns. A great mod in my opinion.

Progress bar.
Not installed yet, as I will need to lower the rear to clear the skunk2 lca.
But it will clear my invidia catback exhaust. Unlike the OEM which is hitting the flange.
