Recommend me a wastegate!!!

Well I'm almost done with buying all the goodies for my complete RE swap. So far I'm all I have left to buy is the Aeromotive A1000, BOV, Marren 850 top/side feed injectors, fuel pressure gauge, and the wastegate. I'm not really fond of any good wastegate brands other than HKS. Right now I'm all for the 50mm HKS WG, but I wanted to see what other brands that you all have used that are good or bad. I really want only the best for my RX-7, so I'm not cutting any corners with cheap crap. Oh also what do you think about a TurboXS type-H RFL BOV? Thanks!

By the way I have a custom 3'' DP, HKS cast exhaust manifold, and the Garrett "blowzilla"

I've seen all the other brands fail.

Well that's cool so far...but to be more specific I want to avoid any boost creep so I'd say it safe go with the 46mm TiAl or the 50mm HKS...correct me if I'm wrong.What do you all say?
