Advice on new brake controller needed

I recently (last week) picked up a new 5er (Keystone Laredo 29BH)
I have a brake controller now but it sticks a little after releasing
the truck brakes. I've heard good things about Prodigy and Jordan.
The Jorden uses a cable and I'm not sure I like that..(I have power
adjustable pedals) and I know they have a fix for that but the cable
ideal worries me a little. I've heard good and bad about the Prodigy unit.

What are most people finding to be the best of both worlds...Is there
another controller besides these 2?

Also, is there a good website for ordering these units online?

Thanks in advance

I would never put down the Prodigy - I've heard too many good things about it. However, I've heard more good about the Jordan, and though I too was a little leary about the 'cable', I got one - and love it and have never been sorry for the choice. And the price was much less than what I expected.

There are many different brands but I know of none that even come close to the Jordan.

I too highly recommend the Jordan. I had Prodigy on the last truck - - it is definitely not as smooth as the Jordan and I have not had the odd things happen with it like the Prodigy. The design for the bracket on the adjustable pedal was made from my truck - - it works great. It justs a few minutes more to install - - you will probably play with the wire adjustment a little when you hook up the first time. I readjusted it three or four times before I had it exactly where I wanted it. Once there it is sooooo smooooooth. 8)

Here is the best price I have seen on the Jordan.
