I would think the Banks would be the best of the three. My buddy has the ATS and is not overly impressed with it. No idea on the GM 6.5 turbo but I have read they are not a great fit for rigs that had the 6.2 engines. Something about clearance issues. I just picked up a complete Banks kit off of Craigslist. It is going to require some special fab work to fit because of the large alternator that M1010's use. I hope I can make it work...

Frame clearance for the right manifold is no problem. Turbo clearance from the A/C box would be but since the CUCV doesn't have A/C, should be no problem.
