all 3 brands are good. they all do the job they need to do.
the biggest difference between the 3 is the crg and titax have double ball bearing rollers. the pazzos do not. pazzos have a ball bearing that lays in the perch with a spring behind it but you cannot consider it a "ball bearing" setup. the method that crg and titax uses will last much longer and is a TAD bit smoother compared to the pazzo levers.
pazzo got into the business because crg was having major problems keeping up with demand. they offered a pridcut that was on par with crg for a lower price. very smart on their part. they have done very well.
titax has gone one step further and made a lever that is built like the crg but offers more color options like pazzo. its the best of both worlds. at the same time pricing is lower than the other 2 brands.
i have used all 3 brands of levers on my own track bikes. the brand that is on my current bike is titax. pricewise, compared to the other brands titax is better. quality wise you will really need to get picky to tell the difference on the road or track.
just my .02

I've seen aftermarket clutches affect starting the bike. Is it bad install or are some designs better than others?
sounds like a bad install. i have all 3 brands here at the shop and there is very little to no difference between the perch setups.
