I have the Addco RSB, when I purchased the bar months ago I did some research comparing the Stillen bar vs. the Addco bar, and many say they do the exact same thing. The only difference is that the Stillen is adjustable as 1/3There2/3ToGo says, although why would you set the bar on any setting other than the stiffist?...and the price, Stillen-$220 vs. Addco-$160. I recommend the Addco...

Addco - less expensive, good performance, not adjustable, urethane bushing/endlink (may squeek/flex)
Stillen - more expensive, good performance, adjustable, metal endlink bracket (doesn't squeek or flex).

As far as RSB's and FSTB's go, stillen probubly makes the best ones. BUT, they also charge way to much (In my opinion). Have you checked out ebay lately ??? They have FSTB's starting at 18 bucks !! Some even are fully adjustable.
Now, Stillen might make the lightest, most high quality kind, but is it really worth the extra 185 bucks!? I don't think so.

I chose Stillen over Addco. At the limits, both work equally well. I just think that the Stillen bar can be more aggressive on moderate turns. I put my RSB as far forward as possible, more than recommended, lol. About 2-3 inches past the rear beam (towards the front of the car). Let me tell you, that makes a whole lot of differnce. 
Sometimes I get scared when I turn, it's a lot quicker, and sharper!

I've installed both
I had an easier time with the Addco...I had to run to Home Depot to get longer bolts for the Stillen unit. The Stillen bar lost a few nuts over time. The Addco is adjustable, but it's more trouble than it's worth...you have to disassemble the bar and reinstall. Performance is about the same. I'd go Addco...money issue.
