Default Garagestar vs. Boss Frog fender braces

After doing some research on fender braces, I've decided i'm in the market to purchase some. I just recently installed the FM frame rails and butterfly brace. I was very pleased with the difference in handling which led me to doing more research on stiffening up my chassis. I'm stuck between the GS and the BS braces. I've looked up both and only read reviews on both, but I have yet to see a versus thread between the two. I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who has experience with both. If so, what would you prefer and why?

Hint: Boss Frog is "no more" :(

Oh wow, I had no idea. Well that makes it a bit easier.

Kenjo is local to me, is it really worth going with these over the garagestar braces or will either one get the job done?

Paco/FM is also apparently working on a set of fender braces:
