Best Under Brace for Evo X

I was trying to find reviews or opinions on what under brace people preferred but couldn't find much. From what I've seen the mounts are different. The Cusco one is like a giant spider that lays on the under chassis. Then there's the Tanabe one that's a bit more simple with just 4-points. I guess money-wise Kansai can be an option as well.

Did all these do their jobs? The Tanabe one seems a bit more attainable and easier to install.

I can only comment on the lower front braces since those are the only ones I know anything about because those are the most important and only ones that I have ever considered.

The Tanabe (below left) only braces the rear lower front pick-up points, but rather little of the force goes through that location. The Cusco (below right) braces the front lower front pick-ups, which is key.

Thanks for the info! The Cusco photos I kept seeing showed other bars. I guess this a fair side by side comparison between the two. It also shows the different mounting points and how the welds are different.
