Anyone's 5-in-3 SATA cages worth considering?

Right now, and for the past 7 years or so, I've got a number of drives in individual CRU Dataport carriers (3.5" drive in 5.25" bay). Can't beat their cooling as they keep the drives to within 2 degrees max operating temp compared to a bare drive out of case entirely. Without being crazy loud either. I've got enough case space to allow for them, most of my 4U rack cases have 5 forward bays free; usually 3 & 2 or 3 & 3

But I'm wondering about consolidating some of this stuff and want to know what's out there these days. Anyone's 5-in-3 or other variations worth considering Which to avoid?
 
I also use the super micros bays. I have 2 in my main server. I took out the fans though, I did not have enough room in my case. I added two powerful fans on the back of the case. If I put a piece of cardboard on the front of the server, it's sucked on, so I know there's good airflow to the drives. The fans on them are decent though, not like some where they put a really crappy 40mm fan. These are 90mm fans. Too bad they're not 80 though, or they could be reused for other stuff.
