From personal experience, DO NOT buy any replica shifters. They look pretty, but the geometry is off somehow. My worked wonderfully well, except it didn't like to go into first gear a lot of the time.

I tried the B&M and hated it. I use the mazdatrix now (basically a mazdaspeed replica) and love it.

The stock shifter is also pretty darn good if you just replace the worn parts.
