I vote for the Andair valve. I had a stock Vans valve on my -4 and it leaked, I swapped it for the Andair and no problems after that. I had a stock Vans valve on my 6A and it leaked, smelled of gas in the cockpit and moistened my hand on every fuel change. That got me to stop smoking on long flights. I swapped that one for an Andair valve and again problem solved. Let me tell you it's a lot easier to build one into your construction than to retrofit one later.
I don’t know where fuel management ranks in flight safety but I bet it's in the top 3. Why not spring for the best valve available. You will feel great about your choice every time you swap tanks. Find someplace else to save. I consider this a mandatory upgrade.

BTW for those that still don’t get my humor I was kidding about smoking.
