Default Powerbond vs Trick Flow balancer

So Summit C5201 balancer out of stock till 6/14. Don't want to wait that long to modify my engine. I've narrowed down to Trick Flow or Power bond. Which one do you recommend for me to go with???
My mods will be: BTR Stage 2 cam kit, ls6 intake, ls7 lifters, melling high volume oil pump, 243 oem heads, long tube headers. After dyno it should be around 380-400 RWHP.

That Trick Flow balancer looks pretty much identical to the Summit one. Don't think you'd have an issue with either choice.

I use the Powerbond that OP pictured above.

It has given me no grief and likely never will.

My only minor knit pick is I wish it was 8 rib capable like the Summit unit.
