Default Line lock

What's a good line lock system or are they all about the same? I was looking at them in Jegs and I realized that I really have no idea what makes one better than the other or if there's anything special I need.

I think they are all very similar, I used to use a Hurst Roll Control, but it leaked twice on me, & now I'm using a TCI & have had it for 3+ yrs with NO problems..

Also the TCI is much smaller & more compact.. I did not have to mount the relay to anything, CarTech just mounted it right after the master cylinder to the front break line.. & its fine..

There are 3-4 Co. that make em.. but bottom line I think they are all ok..

I have the cheapo Biondo Linelock.. It was leaking initially but haven't had any problems since... It was only around $40 and works great!!

I have the Hurst inboth of mine, only problem I've had is overheating, but that may be due to the fact that the solenoid was mounted too close to a heat source.
