Gear shifting needs to be fast and precise, so I researched alot on this.
B&M is really expensive. Don't need a beatiful quikshift so I bought the rallydesign one:

£44.5 plus vat and shipping is a bargain for what you get!

Also you can mod the linkage so it feels right when shifting:
(Check the bottom of this link under "How to reduce the play and friction How to reduce the play and friction in a front wheel drive gear linkage. in a front wheel drive gear linkage.
")

I've not yet fitted either of them. Need to spend a week on the FRST to get it all sorted out :x August is my only spare time :x :x :x

After playing with a few of th equickshift kits I have to say although the B&M kit is relatively expensive it is by far the best

The Fiesta quick shift is the same as the Escort Mk3 and 4 kit.... you can adapt a std Puma linkage to fit (very easy to do). I have a B&M on mine (as said above the Escort kit) and the feel is 100% spot on and the difference on gear change is very noticable compared to std
