3 way solenoid valve

I am wanting to purchase a couple 3 way solenoid valves and was wanting to know what is the best bang for the buck?

I've used 6 port Pollak valves when running WVO in my Mercedes. I was actually able to find them for less than the 3 port valves. You can simply block off the extra ports and use it as a 3 port valve. I've used them for years without any issues.

Plantdrive.com has the hydraforce valves for $89 each. 2 way valve with 3 ports.

The Hydraforce valve looks like a much better valve than the Pollak valve. There are accounts of the Pollak valve malfunctioning, where the motor drive sticks while switching ports. I have not experienced this issue personally but maybe it's just waiting to happen. I believe the Pollak valves retail about for about the same price as Hydraforce valve. It's best to shop around. I have found new Pollak valves for under $30 shipped on ebay.
