I just bought a Wegner front set up for my supercharged LS7 and I've heard nothing but good stuff about it and how it's phenominal.

I've had zero issues with my Vintage Air Front Runner's power steering pump.

However, one small nit with all of these aftermarket drives is that to make them fit in virtually any engine compartment they bring the accessories in as tight to the front of the motor as possible. All of them put the alternator right in front of the cylinder head. Having the voltage regulator of your alternator within 1/2" of the head with poor airflow is really hard on the alternator.

I've killed a few regulators in extended autocross sessions. Never a problem on road course or street driving.

same here I have a Wegner set up also. looks amazing motor is not in yet so can't say anything else but I already know it gonna be perfect.

I had a vintage air kit also on a LS3 it looked great and ran great only problem I went to super charge the motor and the vintage air front runner will not work with any FI product so make sure you are never ever gonna super charge it or you will have to buy again.

or just save yourself the head ache and get Wegner now
check out his valve covers also. he custom made me a set and wow they are perfect.

I've always used Wegner myself but the drive junky looks to have a similar belt engagement.
