I installed a shifter from a 987/997 in my car. The shifts are noticeably smoother and shorter than I experienced with the stock 986 shifter. My research led me to conclude that the 987/997 shifter was better than the less expensive aftermarket shifters.

At the time, I thought a better option would be the Porsche short shift kit from a 987/997. Unfortunately, those were rare, and the available units were considerably more expensive than the stock 987/997 shifters. If I recall correctly, I bought my shifter from a guy who was upgrading to a Porsche short shifter, and I paid a reasonable amount.

I don't have hands-on experience with any of the other shifters.
