Feedback Experience Wanted: Comparison of Seat Rails & Adapters for Side Mount Seats

I am planning on getting some aftermarket side mounted seats and wanted to get feedback on different rails and adapters available. After doing some research, this is the list of available options that I have compiled.

Please reply with your experience for each different rail using the following key points:

Overall build quality
Fitment
Seating height (higher or lower than oem's seating position)
Torsion rigidity (do the mounts flex/twist when you please body load on it)
Full forward / back slider adjustment
How smooth is the sliding mechanism
Material (if know such as steel or aluminum)
Does it has a mounting point for the OEM 3-point seat belt receptacle?
Would you recommend it?

I am not affiliated with any of these vendors. I am linking them for reference.

I have wedge racing slider/bracket for my recaro seat. Great quality build. Calls you to see what exact seat you have to make sure they make the correct holes/fittings for it. Fully slidable and far enough forward for short people like me lol. Sits slightly higher than stock. Good price and quick shipping. Can mount oem belts to it. Highly recommend it.
 
Since we are on seats/sliders.. Who do you guys go too for pricing on seats? Im looking at either bride euroster or recaro .. Im not tall so would like to keep hieght the same if not slightly higher is fine

bzyrice how sturdy are those seat mounts? Will it work for all brands?

Sorry, haven't purchased seats yet.. But noticed these were missing from your list.. Saved a link to it when another prime member mentioned using them. Can't remember who has them! Sorry about that
