I spent alot of time looking through the site and there appears to be a wide range of preferences on this subject. I'm about to replace the stock shifter with the B&M. Most folks seem to like it though I saw some complaints about fourth to fifth shifts (because it's so much shorter). I don't want a metal knob so it looks like MOMO is my only option. It looks like the Sphere S, Race S and F-16 S will fit our cars. Any feedback is appreciated.
FYI: I'll be ordering this along with the KVR drilled and plated brake package from CTA Motorsports (thanks Chris).

I have the F-16 carbon fiber and like it a lot. The shape and everything fits my my style for how I hold the shifter when I shift. IN hindsight I would have disabled the reverse lockout and gone with a regular knob. I don't know if the reverse lockout stuff is removable from the b&m or not, but if it is, maybe you'd want to go that route. BTW, my f16 cost me $60 but the guy said he was giving me a "sale" price.

I've actually grown quite accustomed to the stock knob on the B&M. I hated it on the stock shifter, but on the B&M it is kinda nice. I have had a Voodoo and the B&M knob on there too, they all have their own unique features.

How about the VooDoo knob? They come in polished aluminum or powder coated black, but I had mine poweder coated white so it matches the gauges and BNM white faced HVAC

Stock SVT
Looks great, feels great, & it's simply dark leather.
Personaly I dislike the metal knobs. No real feel, most I've seen are funky shapes. No real ergonomics. Plus they can get & stay hot or cold depending.

Cougar with the silver insert. Looks stock and goes well with the aluminum reverse lockout from the B&M. I think some members just ordered from Bill J for ~$30.
