IMO, The best kind are the 6-pin risers. Three thicker wires that are designed to spread a higher 12V load compared to 2 for molex and sata connectors. They also use four capacitors instead of three and come with a voltage regulator to prevent spikes. Out of the diffrent types i've tried, I found the ones with the slider lock to be the best overall quality.

The ones I would avoid are the ones with the locking push tab on the side. The workmanship wasn't as good and the foam bottom came off right away.

you may look for a decent Suppliers here in forum, Hawkfish for example, they sell high quality risers with a decent price, however if your location will hinder shipping because of the cost, you may look for 6 pin type risers within your area.
