The Buddy Clubs look better, but seats are safety equipment and I'm kinda inclined to trust Sparco more.

i've sat in both seats, and after both test sittings, i got the fighter seat over the bc even though it was about 150 more. i just felt more secure in the sparco seat then the bc one. getting a harness isnt a bad thing to keep your *** in the seat is always a plus

The Sparco one is bottom mounted compared to side mounted BC. I like Side Mounted.

SPARCOs are made for larger EUROPEAN SIZED PEOPLE, not Americans

Im pretty sure that the Sparco is FIA approved, like most of their other seats. The Buddy Clubs to my knowledge do not have that approval, although Im sure they could. BC makes some pretty solid other parts... That would more or less be the deciding factor for me, but I'd say it depends on whether or not you roadrace or do track days where I think an FIA approval is a must.
