Readily available i would go for Everglides shipping may take longer though because of COVID 19 or Zeal stabs.

Durock stabilizers are currently the best. They go by many names, such as ZugGear and Everglide, or just Durock.

Are those Everglide better than GMK?

I saw Zeals but these are pretty expensive, didn't know if its worth the money.
PLus, I read about some issues, like wires popping out or something. Are they really that bad?

Zeal stabs are one of the stabilizers that are good but Everglide is as good and cheaper from my experience. GMK ruined there stabs by retooling it. The retooled versions are garbage super rattely. I had some and i wouldn't recommend them even lube didn't help. I end up not using them and harvested genuine stab in cherry stabs and used those instead.

I put ZealPC stabs in all my builds personally, I think they're amazing, never had any issues with them and they feel pretty good. Durocks were a close second for me though.

Thanks guys.
Looking at the prices, I think I pick those Everglides/Durocks sliders, as these are half price of Zeals.
As you mentioned, these both are pretty much top choice, I'll go with Everglides.

Wouldn't go zeal, overpriced plastic.

Durock stabs are quality

When I was after it, price difference was about £5 on set, so went for Zeals, as was available and deliverable on that time.

If you can find pre- re-tooled gmk stabs, buy them. Any screw-in works pretty well if you tune them. I'm using clip-in gmk right now and they work just fine.
