Cantilever hood

Time to purchase a hood kit. Which ones might be better than others ? I only really see two styles out there and they are all in the same neighborhood of price so just checking to see any preference .
Thanks

Dont know if this will help you or not, since I havent purchased one yet. But, I am going to go with the MMB kit. I think it looks better and its supposed to be a sturdier design.
