best quill stems?

What are regarded as the best quill stems? I have a Synchros Cattleprod and a Ritchey.

I am partial to an answer atac but they suit ally frames better IMO. Tioga T bone is a great all rounder - light and relatively cheap.

Lighter, easier to make, simpler. No long bolt or internal shenanigans going on.

I have to agree about the tioga t-bone, very simple and i haven't seen a failed one yet.
