And it has been tested on more than ten occasions, and has always done the job.
The exo is now also for sale...

Waxheads is enough, good triangulation. Option 3 if you want to go further. The others don't have enough cross bracing, depends really on what you're doing. Slow flops you want cross bracing, fast rolls you want to support the A pillar a bit more with front to back bracing.

I think NAM's suggestion is the best ballance between protection, bracing and excessive weight.

Plus it's what I use!
