Mark, from what I hear, the Lee box from ATS is the best money can buy.

AGR is a bolt in, no mods.

Mark, it seems that the Lee or AGR box has become the darling of choice these past months, but I can't stress enough that the Cardone 276550 box is a great choice, and was one of the most popular here just 6mths ago (the mood swings of a forum :)). I installed this box and love it. I can't compare it to the others mentioned here, but I can't imagine it being any better than it is. I think the main reason some here have forgotten it is because a couple of guys got boxes that weren't reman'd correctly with the right ratio, which shouldn't happen.

Anyway, here's a few links to threads that discuss the Cardone, along with some others:

With the Cardone box, you have to get Lee Mfg fittings (818-768-0371), RJ #7826542, and maybe Moog K6582 long Pitman arm. You can get the box for approx $150, the PA for approx $60, and I think I paid like..$90 for the RJ and fittings from Lee (which can probably be found cheaper).

Again, the Cardone box is excellent, imho, and for no real reason..was forgotten here. Again, one or two guys (I think) reported not getting the correct ratio guts to Cardone's. Good luck in your choice :).
