I don't want price to be the deciding factor. I appreciate any suggestions.

The only one I have experience with is the Mustang backrest. I've been very happy with it.

I have a RKC. I, too, did a lot of homework regarding my back rest. I went with...

Seat back adjustable mount 52596-09A
Seat back to accompany mount 52591-09A

I am pleased with my choice. I like how I am able to easily adjust it for various riding positions as I travel down the road throughout the day.

Thanks for the input all. After reading reviews, looking at pictures, and watching videos I went with the Mustang adjustable rider backrest. $202 free shipping no tax from Dennis Kirk. I would have loved to sat in it before buying but that was not an option. I am looking forward to having it on my bike.
