I use the polished aluminum Taylor which fits the bill nicely. Welded a stud in the back right to the body and I have never had problems with anything electrical on the car. I don't think it is absolutely necessary to run a full length ground, but I do think it is a good idea as well. In my case mainly because I run off the battery only for the 1/4. I plan to upgrade to a 16 volt system with the new motor and at that point the full length ground will also be in place.

BTW, we get the taylor kits with the cable for just a bit over $100. It is the nicest setup I have seen and I did do my research as always.
