I have used both kinds in the past.  They both make a significant improvement to the stiffness of the chassis, even if they are just bolted in.  I would however suggest welding them in once you get them in place.  I decided to go with the Magnumforce connectors on my current car because I thought the fit looked nicer and they were tighter against the floor boards.  I didn't like the way the MP type tend to be so low.  I am not sure the Magnumforce type are worth the difference in price just for that though.  Keep in mind that there is drilling and banging and a little trimming needed on both types no matter how "bolt on" they say they are.

I bought the MP connectors and they are basically 2 pieces of tubing that need substantial cutting and fitting.  They will not just bolt in to my car at least.  I would save the money and just buy some plain tubing.

the summit commectors are not for e-bodys thats why sooooo much modification is needed . i would go with the top ones they fit great and made for e-body.

The MP connectors are made for E-Body, but they are for both Cudas and Challengers.  To fit on the Challenger, you do need to cut off part of the back end.  However, there is also a good bit of other cutting and tweaking that will be needed.

The Magnumforce were actually much easier to fit, and I think they look a little nicer than the MP type.  They also have that section that sandwiches the floorboards between two plates and should add a little rigidity there.  The MP type are considerably less expensive though, and probably work just as well once you manage to get them installed.  My car is hibernating or I would get you some photos.

Here's some pics of mine.  I was able to put it on a lift at my bud's shop, otherwise I don't think we would have ever gotten these on.  We ended up using a trans stand and hydraulic ram to get everything into place, but we were able to get them snugged up pretty good.

i would never use that moparperformance garbage , they DONT FIT . save a few hairs on your head and get the maginum force or the mancini racing e-body conectors . the other conectors are JUNK and bont fit!

Not sure what your beef is with the MP connectors.  They certainly are not junk, and work great.  Yes, it did take some work to get them in, but with access to the proper tools it took about 2 hours total.  I have yet to hear about any connector on the market that does not require some sort of tweaking, and for less than half the price of just about everything else out there, I'm just peachy with mine.
