I've not had any experience with two of the three you mentioned, but I was
VERY pleased in my dealings with BPNW.  I ordered a roll bar from them,
decided I didn't like it, was able to return it and promptly received a
refund (less shipping, which I was certainly okay with) in just a day or
two.  Great customer service impresses me to no end.

Best wishes,
