I have the choice between a cherry hall sensor and the hall sensor from DIYautotune.

I couldn't pass on the cherry since it was cheap at just 32€ here.
Which one would be better. The DIY item fits my sensor bracket like a glove the cherry is too small for the hole, so I need to make something. On the other hand, the cherry allows for easy adjusting the distance from teh wheel.

Re: crank trigger sensor : cherry or generic hall
what are the temp specifications for the cherry hall sensor, the diyautotune sensor is rated for the temp under the hood/bonnet of your engine compartment, and has been tested to provide good signal up to 19,000 rpm with a 36-1 tooth wheel. I got the diyautotune sensor because I didn't want to take the chance that the sensor would fail from heat or vibration, so I got one with a proven track record.

Re: crank trigger sensor : cherry or generic hall
I've been running a cherry sensor on my Skylark since 2011 and one on my Firebird for the last year with zero issues. Just needs a pull up circuit.
"Hey, at least the Skylark proves that even a messy hack can patch together a reliable EFI system. I can't think of a time the MegaSquirt has left me stranded since installation ~100,000 miles ago."
