I have only had one so I can't say it is the best or worst. I can say that there are zero complaints from My Duff twin stick. The reason I bought Duffs was that it had the sticks, the boot, and the cover plate in one kit. It is chrome plated and If I had to guess who really makes it I would say that its by the same people who make Hurst shifters because the Duff name is stamped in the same way. When I added up the cost of the sticks, the boot (duffs has a metal support with the boot to mount it) and the cover plate everyones price was about the same. But not everyone offered a cover plate. I also have wood door panels and the knobs match.
