Most of all the MBC's nowadays are pretty good. I've had the Joe P for about 2.5 years and it still holds good but not as good as the day I bought it.

I personally like the MBC from www.ffwdconnection.com.. it's easy to use & you don't need tools to adjust it. I had mine for 2yrs & it worked flawlessly... I just recently went to an HKS EVC EZ due to the fact that it holds the external WG closed until I reach full boost... & it's cockpit adjustable. The Hallman is also very good.. & they just came out w/ a cable actuated cockpit adjustable MBC... I think halmans are a bit on the pricey side.. but that's just my personal opinion... I do know that he offers a couple different grades of mbcs now a days. I've heard several stories of JoePs wearing out... I don't know if the spring gets soft or what.. but that's what I've heard.

My JOEP is great. There is a little boost spike at higher levels (15 + psi), but it's easy to install and tune.

My collection of Brass fittings, bolts, a spring, and a ball work great
Are there any bad ones really, IE ones that don't get the job done? (I know mine doesn't have cool flashing blue LED's or anything, but it works perfect).

Same here. Just make your own, but make certain you do it right.

I've used a Joe P for a little over a year and a half now with no problems. Holds boost well. Good bang for your buck ($50)
