There is basically:
Factory
Dorman 697-024 (400+tax)
B&M 45195 (600+tax + donut if you need it)
The factory one is fine-ish when not worn out. I have driven a few low mile 3.6L JKUs with them and was neither impressed nor disappointed. Most seem to be toast around the 50,000 mile mark.
The Dorman one is supposed to feel like a new factory one, but a marginally shorter throw, and easier to get into 5/6/R.
The B&M one is definitely nice, but it's a short throw shifter. I have driven several 3.8L JKs with them. I do not really care for it. The throw in the gates is so narrow that with rubber/sloppy transmission and engine mounts, you can miss gears when driving hard.
I bought another Dorman one, going to ship the first one back. Maybe the second one will be nicer.
