The kits should all be equally good.  You are getting a slightly easier
install with our kit I think.  We use a sandwich adapter which goes between
your oil filter and where it mounts.  You unscrew your oil filter, screw
this sandwich unit in there and put the oil filter back.  Plug everything
in with a premade harness and you are good to go.  Mount the pressure gauge
on the dash wherever you want and it is done.  Plus it is cheaper if you
care about that.  The stock kit uses a LED gauge but I can get something
that has a needle if you want to go old school.  Also the sandwich adapter
has additional ports if you want to do oil temperature, etc.
