Best box for mileage increase?

I have done some searching on this subject, but after all the reading I haven't come up with a good answer I'm not looking for power so much as I am the most amount MPG's I can get from the addition of the box.

I'm sure the Smarty on it's mileage setting will net the best increase. One problem, I tow almost daily with my truck the Smarty's mileage setting probably will not work too well for me.

It seems the timing from the EZ is supposed to net a small MPG increase. Would a VA box yield a better MPG increase? Would a Comp on a lower setting yield better MPG's than an EZ? Would another setting on the Smarty be the way to go?

I also plan on installing a set of 275's so I am hoping to pick up a little mileage there as well.

Thanks for your suggestions.

BTW - I would like to purchase something used to keep my cost down so if you have a used box that you are looking to sell please contact me.
