Best short shifter for Road Course/Street use?

I hope this is in the right section since this is Drivetrain.

Which of the short shifters is the best one? I dont want to buy it twice because I get the wrong one.

I will be doing Road Course Racing and Street driving the car. Might hit the drag strip on a rare occasion but am not concerned about that.

I think it depends on where you want the knob located. The TWM pretty much centers the knob directly in the middle of the shift boot when in neutral. The Works angles the knob slightly towards the driver. If you have really short arms you may prefer the Works since it will be slightly closer. The TWM has the shorter shift throw. I went with the TWM in the end. Dramatically shortened both the throw and the stick itself. Requires greater shift effort with the stock knob, however using a longer or heavier aftermarket knob will make it much easier. With the shorter throw and different knob the car definitely feels like it shifts with more authority. I can only speak to the high quality of the TWM because it's the only one I have used, but I think either one would be okay. I would definitely upgrade the knob as well, TWM also has a big selection of those.
