Default Front accesory drive sbc?

I am helping a friend install a 427 blueprint sbc in a 39 Chevrolet, he is wanting to upgrade the vbelt front drive setup to serpentine. I would imagine march or vintage air with new ac compressor, ps pump, and alternator. I am just curious what some of the members have used? What is good as far a quality and customer service?
Thanks in advance

The Concept One stuff is made here in my hometown. Quality stuff, and great service. I've installed two of these kits, and they work well.

I use both front runner and BS tru trac systems. Roughly the same price and both work equally as well.

Thanks for the input guys, I will tell my buddy and he can decide. It all looks pretty good to me, I just wanted to make sure we don't order something that is a pia. It looks like when it comes down to it, It's personal preference on the looks more then anything. Seems the prices of billet are all around 2g minimum.
Thanks again
