Performance is pretty much the same for both.
Don't know about size, but shape is a little different, weight don't know too.
http://www.shox.com can get you the Addco RSB for $119 (IIRC) if you mention Maxima.org.
The Stillen RSB you can ask around. I wouldn't know cause I got the Addco.

Go with the Stillen. It is a one piece unit. The Addco bar is a more conventional design with endlinks, bushings, etc. which may deteriorate over time. The Stillen bar was fairly easy to install and has worked well on my 97.

Stillen
The stillen one is a much better piece and it's Fully-adjustable. i don't like Stillen Very much but this is one of the only two items i would ever get from them, other then a S/C

If you need better adjustability, get the Stillen. I have the Addco and it does a pretty nice job on the street. If you aren't going to autocross your car and need to save $150, the Addco will do 90% of what the Stillen can.

I may have exagurated the price difference a little. IIRC, I got my Addco from Brian Catts at Cattman Performance for $120. I also seem recall that $tealin sells theirs for $250, so thats $130 difference.
As for the 90%; everthing I have read indicates to me that the $tealin bar is MORE adjustable than the Addco. The Addco bar is adjustable and it does have eurathane bushings.
I am running my bar at the middle of it's adjustment range. It's fine for the street; firms up the rear end very well. However, at the limits of the Maxima's handling on the autocross course, I still get severe understeer and can't seem to get the rear end to come around.

Ok, so where can I get an Addco RSB? Since I've installed the Courtesy FSTB I've noticed that body lean is cut in half but still leans in the back end.

You want more oversteer? Try adding some air to those rear tires
That was my problem earlier this year and I was fishtailing all over the place.
