Default Mechanical Retracts: Dave Brown, Great Planes or other

I'm replacing the junk I got in my Kit with something a little better... But which. The one's I have suffer from too much slop with the 3.25" wheels and have no adjustment screws.
The gent on the phone from DBP says they are good up to 15lbs. and no one has ever complained about any slop. They are also 90* where i have need for 85.... so i can go -5 into the wing. Don't know too much about the Great planes or hobbico's

I'm just looking for guys who have used either (or a third brand)and can give some pros/cons

I have a model tech p-47. it's gonna weigh in between 9-11.5 lbs
To soon into the kit bashing to know exact weight. I fly off grass and can land well (under power) am border line OK deadstick. Though I won't be flying this ship until next season so i have time to learn to land better. (only been flying since april).

Thanks for your help
