I would consider the hurst ratshit or gate shifters over a 400 dollar lever with brackets over the trans.
Also, If you have shorter arms it's going to be a reach with a bench.
The cable shifters can be attached pretty much anywhere on the hump, so as long as you can get the shifter all the way in the rearmost position they can go anywhere forward or back.
They come with a round black knob, but I put the Hurst T handle on mine.
I am 6'2" with long arms, but the cable on the shifter would have allowed the shifter to be installed almost right between the seats if needed.
Ah, didn't know about the pickup shifter, and that would solve the bench problems because of the lever being angled back.
