Default Quick Release and Steering Hub Recommendations

Looking for recommendations regarding the mounting of my steering wheel. While I've been using Sparco for most of my build thus far, I'm having a hard time bringing myself to spend $300+ on the Sparco quick release although, I really do like that style over the NRG style "button".

What are you guys using? Costs, concerns, likes, dislikes?

Please and thank you.

Replaced my NRG with Sparco, over concern with the possibility of the bearings falling out. Not that it happens while driving, but I didn't want to miss a day or weekend if he thing fell apart.

I honestly kinda like the "click" confirmation I got from the NRG on install, which is missing in the Sparco, or other friction style hubs. Otherwise, I notice no difference.

YMMV

Always, always, always give the wheel a firm pull before entering track.

NRG has worked for me for past 2 years and I don't plan on changing it

I've had a couple NRG and the current one if my car is unreliable. It clicks and engages probably 85%. Then after a bit of driving it will click again and fully seat. I can't seem to replicate it, but it randomly honks the horn and has slop before is locks up all the way. Customer service is non existent. I won't be buying any NRG products ever again. They are only 1 tiny step above complete Chinese knock off shit. Switching to a MOMO bean type.

Bought a lightly used short NRG Hub and NRG QR here on the board.

NRG 2.5 Quick Release(SRK-250BK) and an NRG Short Hub(SRK-130H)

I use the Works Bell Hub and Works Bell quick release with Personal Steering wheel and have no complaints. The quality and craftsmanship is amazing.
It is on the more expensive side but worth it to me.

That Works Bell looks almost identical to the NRG .....

I just installed the used one I picked up. Only thing different that I can see is the WB logo vs. NRG.
