mechanical thumb brand recommendations?

looking for a weld-on mechanical thumb for my JCB 803 plus. This is a 3 ton, 26 hp class machine. A google search turns up lots of different brands to choose from, wondering if anyone has experience to share on the topic. Thanks!

    I've been looking into that quite a bit lately but the only brands I'd recommend are local to me in Canada. (AMI, Gryb, Rivard to name a few..). Give them your bucket specs before purchasing to make sure that the tines on the thumb interlock with the bucket teeth!
