Which wiring harness?

I'm looking for some input from anyone who has used Painless, American Autowire or Ron Francis wiring harnesses.

I need to rewire my 68 Coupe. I have some mechanical experience, but not much electrical/wiring experience. I have a pretty stock setup (no aftermarket additions right now). Which is the easiest harness to install? Which one has the most prewired factory connectors (particularly under dash)?

Thanks for the help.

I put a Ron Francis in a '54 Ford Business coupe. I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the kit. They asked a lot of questions when I ordered so I got all the right parts. No experience with the others.

I have a painless in my 68 fastback and it was on the easier end to install. All wires are pre labeled and hooks right up. Will take roughly half a day to a day to hook it all up depending how efficiently you work but its given me no problems

I have put in four painless wire sets and they make it quite painless to say the least. Im sure the other brands are great too as I have seen an American Autowire kit for a Camaro and it was well marked out as well. My 67 Fastback has a painless. It sure is nice to have all those extra circuits! That stock set up was already electrically taxed!
