long shifter, pistol grip or straight shifter

1st and foremost get a "Long" Vertigate. I prefer the newer pistol grip over the older t handle.

One thing to consider is that if you get a deal on a used "Long Brand" vertigate shifter with the steel stick, and you want to have it upgraded, you can send it in to Long and they will rebuild it and convert it over to a pistol grip. Standard length or 2 inches longer. Pretty reasonable too.

You can also put the pistol grip handle on the standard Long shifter as an option. Not as cool, but workable.
