As far as aftermarket subframes, it seems to all come down to personal preference. For my money, it would either be DSE or AME.
I would tend to prefer an OEM based suspension, such as the AME unit. The only reason for this is parts availability. We never really know how long manufacturers are going to be around. Years from now (if I still have this car) I would imagine finding a C5/6 A-arm will be much easier than sourcing something for the DSE frame.
I'm sure someone with a little more experience will speak up about remaking the wheel. From what I've seen so far, half of your cost is the center, and half is the hoop. To have them re-hooped it's usually around half the cost of the wheel, plus ancillary expenses such as shipping.
