Which alarm/starter to pick for Lancer ES

I've got it narrowed down to a couple different brands and models, its going to be either the Viper 5900 or the Compustar Pro P2WSSR or P2W900FMR. I am leaning most towards the Compustar Pro P2W900FMR. What is everyones opinion on this? Also, I started favoring the Viper 5900 but that would mean I would have to have Best Buy install in and I have a rocky past with Best Buy and that whole idea of them touching my new Lancer turns me off. Compustar was a new name to me but the local audio shop highly recommends them. I would really appreciate anyones help with my little dilemma. Thanks in advance!!!

the system i was lookin at was the Viper 5701. I liked it cuz of the features and that its more compact. My friend had the 5900 installed on his car...i know he had a couple of issues with it, but don't know what they were, don't really talk to him anymore.

whats your guys opinion on having best by install it? personally i am against it, just had too many bad occurrences with them in the past to trust them but wanted to hear what you have to say

if you have the manual, and what wires they need to splice into, couldn't you go through and find out where it all goes?

The reason I don't want it right now is cuz i like having the key fob...havn't heard anything on how the fob gets affected by after market alarm. That and I dont know if i want to carry 2 fobs around for my car. If the key and fob where seperate, i would be all for it.
