Which FPR is best?

I have been doing some searching and have seen many fuel set-ups using many different aftermarket fuel pressure regulators.

I was just wondering which one is the best?

I am leaning toward the SX right now, but the Aeromotive is cheaper through Summit. Anyone have some info on reasons for certain brands or models?
I'm not looking to make loads of HP, but I am planning on upgrading my fuel syst. soon.
Please post your comments and experiences and any suggested set-ups.
TIA

I believe the SX FPR supports dampening (which means you can rid your car of the plastic stock one without losing any functionality). Not sure if the Aeromotive one has that feature.

I'll be staying with the stock injectors for awhile.
The reason I am upgrading my fuel syst. now is because my damper went bad and I decided to try running the car without it. I tapped the primary fuel distributor for a fitting with a barbed end, therefore eliminating the damper. Well the car does not run right without it, but I had to try; a new one is $100.

Also I want to relocate the filter to the engine compartment, and I have a Bosch fuel pump I want to use eventually. Thus, I figure I'll start upgrading piece by piece. I don't need to add any more fuel yet since I'm under the 3 mod rule, and I have an upgraded ECU.

Thanx Mahjik, I read in a past thread that the SX FPR could eliminate the damper also. That's an essential feature for my purpose.
Does anyone know if the others have internal dampers?
