As for which ones are good, I keep hearing a lot of people swear by Novak's & one of Trinity's(I think the Duo series motors are the popular choice), but I only have first hand experience with the Speed Passion one(which I like, seems to run pretty strong in my TRF 416WE).....
dont forget the old brushed heat fade
