Question kenne bell, whipple, or magnacharger?

Ive been looking for awhile now and ive come across some reasonably priced superchargers for my 4.8. My buddy has a 02 2500HD with the magnacharger that hes taking off. I see alot of people on here with the maggies, but i dont see a whole lot with the whipple or even the kenne bell. Any particular reason for this? Id just like to get everyones opinion on these. Personally i like the kenne bell, but cant find a whole lot of info. or videos with them on GM stuff.

+1. Customer service is top notch! When I was thinking of getting a Maggie, even tho I hadn't purchased 1, they answered my questions. You can actually talk to a person. KB & Whipple have in the past, not been easy to get a hold of; perhaps it changed. If those are your 3 choices, that's an easy one for me.

I think the Maggie is the best S/C out there, period. If I wasn't interested in a Maggie, I'd go turbo.
