+1 for the QuickSilver...have it in the '77 and love it.
I have no experience w/the Hurst V-Matic II, but have heard that the B&M Megashifter is real sensitive to cable routing, else it gets stiff and feels like it binds or doesn't shift smoothly. Never heard that in regards to the QuickSilver though.
As far as installs go, the MegaShifter is the ONLY drop-in-and-go shifter. The QuickSilver needs the hole where the shift cable runs through the floor elongated, and the V-Matic II needs a new hole entirely drilled. This is to get the correct shift cable geometry and such for proper operation (probably so you don't snap the shift cable).
I don't know about the V-Matic II, but the MegaShifter *I believe* comes with microswitches for reverse lights and neutral safety switch hookups, whereas the QuickSilver does NOT. This is only relevant if your stock backdrive linkage is disonnected, however.
