FEQ or EMPI?

I'm going to purchase new driveshafts through ECS and I'm wondering what your opinions are between the two brands

Despite what a few guys on the forums have said I haven't had customer complain about them to me, with that in mind I'd run either if I was going to go with an aftermarket unit. If you'd prefer the genuine BMW shafts I also have them available the Front Left is available HERE, and the Front Right HERE

Do those genuine shafts require a core charge?

I edited the original posts. Now both links include the part number with a core charge.

The Front Left is available HERE with core charge, and the Front Right HERE with core charge.
