This question comes up quite a lot. Clearly the searchengine is not delivering the goods.
Fwiw I have installed and used extensively Haslar, Hydrovand and Monitor. And sailed with Aries. And built a ( modesty aside here) very good aux rudder/trim tab/one with which I did a trouble free trip to the windies and up to Canada and lots of v light airs sailing. So 'we' can assume that I know enough to give a someways meaningful answer....which is that they are all excellent Seriously
Friends ( plural) swear by Peter Forthmans Pacific ones too. And he has conscientiously been at it for a long time now, they must be tweaked to exemplary spec by now..
Unless buying new I think it rather depends what is available and how long the OP is prepared to wait?
