Default B&M Or Hurst?

I am in the market for a short shifter but wanted to know pros and cons from people that might already own these products.

B & M RIPPER SHIFTER
HURST BILLET SHIFTER PLUS

also does one seem better than the other?

thanks for your help.

Do a search. Lot of threads on this subject here. You will find most people here prefer the Hurst.

This has been discussed MANY times.

Summary:
B&M is shorter than Hurst, but also requires more shifting effort
Hurst is still MUCH shorter than stock, and is very easy to drive. Hurst is preferred by most people, as BAM said.
