Default Shifter for a Z

So for those that have changed out the stock shifter, what do you run? I'm looking at the C6 shifter or the MGW, help me make up my mind. I will also do the anti-venom mod as well.

Thanks in advance.

I had a Hurst. The only reason I mentioned that is because I eventually became to hate it. Stiff and rattled as it became older. Went to a C6 Z06 shifter, cut it down and rethreaded it for a C5 thread **** I like. It's been great, very happy with it.

Had the Hurst - hated it.
Did the venom method - Hurst got better but still sucked.
Put in a C6 shifter - sloppy
Removed venom method washer - C6 shifter is perfect now.
