Everyone state their OPINION and leave it that. Saying one way is better than the other may not be what's best for everyone. By defining your idea as absolute doesn't help if a person has issues beyond your OPINION. Self appreciation as well as depreciation of others on this site is not condusive to an informative dialog. Keep your peen in your pants.

My stock quadrant had broken teeth. I bought a Steeda adjustable cable but it was junk so I went with the aftermarket quad and firewall adjuster. I've had a UPR quadrant and FW adjuster w/stock cable for over 2 years. You will fry a throw out bearing if you do not adjust it properly but it isn't hard to get it right. As far as keeping adjustment, once you tighten the set screw you shouldn't have any issues.
