Looking for Comparison of Standard Double-Din Dash Kits

I'm planning to change out the stock BRZ HU in favor of a more robust unit. Aside from using Toyota-sized units and/or custom fill jobs (not the most handy person), I'm looking for ways to fill in the gaps.

After searching the forums and internet, I've found the ones below. Anyone able to provide any insight on which trim pieces work the best? I'm planning to get a non-motorized unit (doesn't slide out), such as the Pioneer AVIC-6000NEX.

Metra Dash Kit

Beat-Sonic Dash Kit

American International Dash Kit

I've also encountered an additional dash kit available in the UK.

This one looks pretty promising, since it looks like an updated version meant to fill in the gaps all around the edges. Downside is that it looks pricey since it's from the UK, and I can't find an installed pic of it.

Connects2 CT23SU07

The Connects2 model above looks different from the dash kit (below) from an old thread, which was probably meant for the Scion iQ.

Any thoughts?

Aside from the ones with material on the top/bottom, they're all the same with some textured black plastic to hide the gaps. I went with the Metra ones for my 8000NEX purely because I ordered it with the wiring harness, antenna adapter, USB adapter, and foam baffles from Crutchfield and that's what they had.
