There is only 1 "Mark Stielow" and I believe kyle has a DSE subframe in his second gen.
I think it depends on how you are going to use the car, and the "drivers" abililties.

After the front of my car was broadsided at 50mph my subframe was only about 1/8" out of square. As soon as my insurance check arrived I had another on order. My car sees about 4-5k street miles a year and about one track event a month. Their subframe rides extremely well on the street, especially considering how capable it is on track.

I bought DSE long time a go and forget to mock up accesory drive with it. DSE sub cant take low mount / f-body / CTS-V style system without major hacking . Even Stielow noticed this and cut space for ac compressor and redesingn engine mount.

This is not a problem if you like 3k billet batman drives.. . I prefer more oem looks and low mount drive.

Decisions.. Decisions... I was also in the market for a subframe as well. Theres just so many out there and virtually all have their selling points. I came to the conclusion to these factors: Prices, quality, customer support and ease of replacement parts (off the shelf, no special order parts).

On another note..
I bought this last front sub frame along with the jig from a local fab/performance shop. The guy got rid of his business and moved overseas.

I really dig it. It has the OEM box tubing look to it, matched with tubular up front. It uses corvette c5 components. I cant remember what the castor is but its up there 10-13 degrees or so. Ready for LS motor, del-a-lum bushings, pretty bad ass if you ask me.

Havent really spent time on messing with it yet, but hell, if I get enough interest in these, I may start to fab these up and offer to those interested.
