I've had the B&M and MGW in my z06, and I like the B&M better. To each their own.

MGW or Billet Pro are the only short shifters I would consider.

The MGW shifter has gotten a lot of very good reviews. You might want to take a look at it.

Shifters
I had the B&M and now have the C6 Z shifter. C6 Z is a short throw shifter. I personally like it better than the B&M shifter. The C5 ball will not work on the C6 shifter and you will have to modify the shifter boot (cut the ring out and zip tie).
