Default YES! another final drive thread, need advice

I've been doing some research and ive decided on the 4.57 FD for my ap2. I would just like to know which company makes the best Final drive, most of the threads ive been comin up on are from a few years back, and i just wanna know what currently is the best company to go with? By best i mean, something thats not gonna be making a crap ton of noise because its my dd, and something thats not going to ruin reliability of my car.

also since its the ap2, i do have stock clutch and flywheel which is known to slip at fast shifts, would this still be okay to have even with an upgraded final drive?

Im going to be staying N.A, only mods are gonna be intake, exhaust and test pipe. possible a clutch and flywheel if the slipping is too bad.

im running 4.56 and i love them, a buddy of mine was running 4.77's and on the 1st gear he barely had me by the front wheel then 2nd gear i caught up quickly and left him about a car behind if not more and there was also another friend with stock gears and he was behind the whole time lol i think the 4.56 combo is the best your still going to ride a little high on the rpms but not as much as 4.77 but you still have the acceleration almost par to the 77 and you also have the top speed of stock gears maybe just a little less but you know what i mean. just make sure to get a yellow box that way your not adding unwanted miles from the gears. good luck
