Default Taking The IPod Plunge

okay, first and foremost I have searched until my eyes started to bleed without any help.

throughout my searches I have narrowed my options down to 3:

iSimple - Apple® iPod® Direct Connect Kit for Select GM Vehicles
Model: ISGM74 | SKU: 8760888 -$149.99

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1202650491628

Neo iOn : PODGM4V6
[PODGM4V6] - $149.99

http://www.icarkits.com/product_info.php?products_id=99

PERIPHERAL PXDP IPOD INTERFACE with PERIPHERAL PXHGM4 Harness -
Roughly $115

http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=8107

now, moving forward I have an 02' z06 with the factory Bose head unit and 12 disk changer. I don't mind ditching the 12 disk changer for the IPod at all. which of the above 3 choices would be best. I guess a little compare and contrast is what i'm looking for amongst the 3. a couple things I would like to add are: best fit/finish, IPod charging capabilities, quality, factory head unit able to control IPod. price is really of no concern, with that in mind let's hear it fellas.

Is replacing the stock head unit an option to you, or are you set on keeping it?

Depending on what brand you prefer, there's a ton a quality NAV systems, and most have an iPod jack (or CAN have it added).. I don't know the size of the C5 head unit, but seems most are fairly standard/similarly sized today.. I wouldn't think there'd be a problem.
