Default Windshield Recommendations

So I'm looking into getting a wind shield for my Deluxe for early spring/late fall riding and for longer trips. I was looking at a Memphis Fats, but am not sure which mounting system would be best. I thought I might poll the forum to see who has experience with them or might have a better recommendation in terms of a good shield that isn't too expensive, since I'll likely only be using it a few times a year.

You can't go wrong with the H-D quick detach, and it has a very discrete, integrated mounting system so when it's off, it looks like it was never there...

HD quick detach system is fantastic. If you don't like their windshield options some people adapt the hardware to their shield of choice

The main reason I am leaning towards Memphis Fats over the HD branded ones is the huge difference in price. I also like the nice wide profile of the Fats as opposed to some of the other ones out there.

I thought the HD shields were notorious for the buffeting air underneath them ?! ..
