What's the best busybox app?

Originally rooted using R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1, but had to do a factory reset a few weeks ago and had to re-download superuser.apk from the market that was originally installed with the root method, etc.

Recently came across an app that requires "busybox." Now, I did notice I have a folder: "/system/xbin/busybox" but there is no app connected to it. I'm assuming I have to re-download a busybox app from the market. Which one should I go with?


I noticed two in the market are:

Stephen (Stericson) Busybox Installer
https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

and

JRummy16 Busybox Installer
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
 
both developers have a very good reputation, i doubt it will matter, if your not still rooted i think the install will fail (not positive)
 
It ended up being a bug with that particular app, not busybox, so the busybox that installed with the root method appears to still be working fine after the factory data reset. I'm probably gonna go ahead and download one of those anyway so I have the latest version of busybox.
