I think it would depend on you and which side your sitting. Are you going to have the steering on the right of the console? And are you used to left or right handed controls? It's took me ages to get used to using left hand controls and now I have I wouldn't like to change so would get a nice top mounted (twin lever just do get DHD and mollers going again ) If your used to right hand controls then you could just use a standard side mount.
