why does it have to be an EBC?
i know alot of people have had success with the new greddy profec.
What car are you using it on, just out of curiousity? Which HKS unit were you using?
Have you considered a good ball & spring manual?

I've use a the hallman valves on most of my turbocharged cars over the past bunch of years, with excellent results.

I'm with John. I've been running the same Hallman for 4 years and never had so much as a hick-up from it.
thats why I asked it has to be an EBC.
Also if you're concerned with cockpit adjustability, Hallman has an extension so you can do that. Pretty convenient.

Profec B Spec II blows, you're better off with a fisher price valve kit. Get the original Profec B, its awesome.

I have personally used a Blitz DSBC-TypeR. Was a good unit with 4 different preset boost channels. Then I went to the Apexi-AVC-R and that is still my favorite EBC since you have 2 boost channels and you can change boost settings every 500 rpm and run different boost levels in each gear. It is probably more BC than most people need but I also liked monitoring TPS, RPM, injector DC if you want to with it as well.
I personally prefer a good EBC because I like to run different boost levels at the flick of a switch from inside the cockpit personally. Nothing wrong with manual BC just like EBC they are not for everyone.
