MG TD TF 1500 - Better Replacement Brake Master Cylinder

It's time to replace the brake master cylinder and probably the wheel cylinders as well. Moss carries three brands of brake master cylinders - which is the better one between the AP and the TRW units? They only show one type of wheel cylinders - are there options which might be higher quality?
Thanks,

I used the mid-priced master and the slave cylinder kit with new hoses.

Washed out the pipes with acetone, dried with air and converted to silicone fluid.

Buy thru a reseller like Www.LBCARco.com, save a bunch.

It may have been a batch problem but we have had 3 AP master cyl failures. And when I say failures I mean instant total seal failure. All replaced with TRW and no problems since
The only good thing is that the internals of your original cyl will fit the AP.
