Which Mini Starter: JEGS or Summit!?

Which would you recommend?

JEGS Mini Starter, Part 555-10001
http://www.jegs.com//cgi-bin/ncommer...58&prmenbr=361

Or the SUMMIT Mini Starter, Part 820323
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1&autoview=sku

They both look pretty much the same, but JEGS is a little cheaper, and I believe both are the nippodensor starters. If you could include your reason as to why you choose either, that'd be great!Thanks for the input.

Stock gear reduction starter off of 90's LT1 vette. You can get them used cheap and can find a replacement at a regular parts store.

92-96 LT1 vette starters are all the same. You can get one at a swap meet, ebay, etc. I've used a TCI mini starter on another car for years and it worked great, but it wouldn't fit with my headers in the camaro. The vette one went right in and 2 1/2 years, no problems.
