Default Afthermarket steering wheel conversion newbie

hey guys, i was considering changing my steering wheel in my 2001 c5z as the shifter and wheel are wat you feel the most (ok the pedals also give you great feelings ) . Currently running a Hurst cue ball shifter.
i don't know much about hubs and steering assemblies so i could use some advice on brands, part numbers/models, tools and w/e else.

here is wat i am looking for:
quality, something sturdy ( don't need that eBay flex)
preferably with a trigger for my nitrous.
ofc great feel when in hand
i don't have any brand preference
colors shouldn't be an issue i have a black/red interior.

I am planing to do it myself, guessing il be buying a steering wheel puller.

Let me know you need more info, i didnt find anything on it in the diy sticky
