Talking Gearbox choice ???????

Hi people I'm in need of some advice as I am at the stage of buying a gear box !

The trouble is that my engine should make 600hp+ and similar torque so I'm a bit limited for gearbox choice so the options are

Tremec tko600
Big bearing quaife t5
Glebe dogbox
BMW getrag 5 speed conversion but ratios are off so a taller diff ratio needed

So lads what do you think ????

Cheers James
