I have driven a C5 with an MGW, and personally owned a Hurst. After experiencing both, the 2009 C6 Z06 shifter was the best IMO.

I have a Hurst in mine. It took a little getting used to but other than a little rattle at upper RPM (a problem which has been addressed elsewhere in the forum ) I like it fine.

I drove a Hurst, C6 Z06, B&M and a MGW. I went with the MGW and couldn't be happier.
