There are a ton of different threads started about this subject. It is almost like asking if you like red-heads, blondes, or brunetts....
You need to just search around and find the lines you like on the tower that you think will go best with the lines of your boat, and then check out the price for each and go from there.
I went with this one;

When I purchased it a couple months ago, it was $1,379 ( fully loaded ). Now it shows $1,479, which is still a good deal. The installation wasn't too bad either, and once again, there are many threads started about that subject with a ton of great tips. Search around, and then post some questions you may have.
GOOD LUCK!

Before I see another thread about gel coat cracking, remember you get what you pay for. These cheap towers are universal, spend the money and get one designed for your boat. You'll thank yourself later down the road.

He's only 24. At one time (probably before his time) all there were-were universal towers installed with no cracking. I have been doing this before he was born and NEVER had gelcoat cracking-NEVER. Save the money and buy universal and install it the right way.

Read this thread all the way through to help make things clearer....

I have a Big Air H2O on my 1996 Regal Valanti 182 and I love it. After a few years there are a few barely visible cracks in the gel coat but nothing I worry about as the install of the tower is sound. In our shop we have seen many factory towers where there was severe cracking after a few years.
