Default Steering wheels? Nrg vs Momo vs Driven

I need to order a steering wheel for my 69 Camaro. I have a ididit tilt column and have been looking at the nrg quick release setup and there steering wheels as well. Just curious who is running this brand. I would also like to know the difference between say a Momo or Driven vs the NRG wheel. Is the extra money worth it? Can you tell the difference in quality between the 3 wheels? What are you using for the quick release setup? Would love to see some pictures as well.
Thanks Travis

I installed the NRG QR on a 67 Camaro with a Momo wheel. I was extremely pleased with it. Looks and works great.

Only drawback it pushes the wheel closer to your chest a couple inches.

Similar setup I have. Love the look but no seats yet so to be decided on placement.

I did a lot of research on the subject. I trust advise from people that actually drive their cars a lot, like Sieg, for example. I was looking for a detachable wheel, for a number of reasons, like security and ease of troubleshooting under dash issues, with the wheel out of the way. I found a thread on here on this subject, and took his advice. Mine is an NRG short hub, with carbon fiber quick release. Wheel is a Momo Champion. It does push the wheel back towards you, but I actually like it, since the Momo wheel I have doesn't have a dish to it.
Release mechanism is very well built, and holds wheel tightly.

Here's some crappy pics...

Glad you liked it, I've been thinking about getting one. Moving the wheel out is actually a plus for me.

I have a Sparco wheel in my car. They are all good quality. Pick which one you like best.

I used the NRG QR and I am very pleased with the quality. I went with a cheap $60 Tenzo steering wheel. It looks good and feels good but it's not the stiffest thing out there.
