strut brace/ strut tower brace - ?

[fogcity]

Looking through the P calologs, these braces look like something I can put on with little effort and they'll improve my handling - is this something which everyone should have? Are there any down sides - tire wear, shock wear, unneaded stress? Is there one in particular that's heads above the rest? Would I need to do anything else in conjunction like reballance or allighn?

I don't autoX, but I like to hit it around corners and on/off freeway ramps. 80% of my driving is on terrible (pot holed) city streets. I'm on 6 and 7's and don't plan on changing, and I have no idea what shocks I'm on although they're stiff enough that I feel every ant I run over until I get to about 80mph.

The car corners now tighter and faster then I see myself driving, but if this simple brace adds strength and helps hold evrything together, why not - right?

Thanks for your opinions.
