Hood Strut Kits

I've seen 2 different kits for our hoods. The SHR style, which uses the factory holes and the Redline style that you have to drill mounting holes.

My question is which one works best? I like the SHR, but I'm worried about the stress put on the hood by the strut mounting position so close to the hinges, and bending my hood.
The Redline appears to spread out the mounting positions, but I really do not want to drill holes in the fender area.

Anyone have any issues with either kit?

Thanks

I don't understand the big worry about drilling a couple of small holes. Look at the holes Ford drilled all over the car.

LOL @ GP.

Just a personal preference at this time.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate your inputs.
