I have a B&M Ripper Shifter and love it. I've not tried the others to speak about them personally. I have heard good things about them all.
B&M Ripper:
It's a very solid unit. Throws are about 30% shorter.
Throws are much firmer than the soft stock throw, which I like for racing. If you or your wife like a soft throw/shift, you may not like this shifter at all.
2nd-3rd shift is more precise with a strong centering spring to reduce risk of mis-shift when running the gears fast.
I have not had any problems with noise from mine, some people have mentioned this as an issue in the past. As an aside though, my car is so loud I likely would never hear it if there was one.
