I think it's safe to say that most use the ECS/Alky control meth system, although Snow is often used too.
We ran a special on them not too long ago, PM me and I'll see what I can do for you pricing wise if your interested.

I did a different brand than most on the forum and installed an Aquamist HSF-3 Meth kit on my C5 Z06. Easily the best quality meth kit available imho. Not as easy to install as the Alkycontrol and snow kits but they are very sophisticated kits that even come with a flow gauge to monitor the injection as well. I think they are made in England?

I will warn you to be careful of a few things.
First off, these cars aren't 2.0l turbo rice wagons, therefore they have a higher demand for flow. That means you should really pay close attention to the inlet hose diameter. What you're going to find is that AEM an Aquamist and Snow have small feed lines that don't support the kind of flow for many of our big boosted motors. If you're going with a stock boosted setup, you can certainly get away with it, however if you want any flexibility to be able to step it up in the future, you might want to consider the Alky Control kit.
Second, make absolutely sure you get a "progressive" system that varies the pump speed and line pressure relative to your boost levels.
