Remote Start Security Advice

Hey guys I was looking into buying a new alarm for my car! The alarm kit that I want has to have remote start, security, and other options in case I want to add more. I'm always hearing that Viper is the way to go, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anything else that would also be as good if not better in your opinions.

viper, python, clifford. DEI, the company that makes them is the way to go. I personally have the viper 791 on my evo, and i use the turbo time with it. i love this system. the only you go through batteries like water, is when you have the lcd light up when you hit buttons, or have it on vibrate. Go with the new SST series if you can, they improved the range on these new systems.

This was the downside to getting the GTS. I heard these aftermarket alarms from Viper, Compustar, etc., will not work with the F.A.S.T. key option installed. Plus, that's just way too many remotes to carry lol.
