I'd stick with the Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. It is regarded as one of the best shifters available. I've been running one in my car for 8 years now and love it. A big part of the price difference looks like the cheaper one does not come with a shifter handle. Other than that, I have not heard of that company and cant offer much of an opinion as to whether or not its decent.

The difference between thoes two is that the cheaper one is just a nice version of the stock shifter and a knock-off of good shifters like the Tri-Ax or the MGW shifter. I would recommend not going with the cheap one, and if you are going to get the tri-ax, go ahead and get THE best and get a MGW shifter. I have never read of anyone being disappointed with the MGW and there are people that have gone from a Tri-ax to the MGW shifter and been very impressed with the improvement. But out of thoes two you listed go with the Tri-ax, the cheaper one will inherently lack the R&D that is needed to produce a quality piece.

I like the Pro 5.0 Its personnel preference. Stay with the better shifters and only have to buy one.
