What's the difference between steering columns?

Get the right original OEM one....pay $300 for complete restored one with key....there is a guy on this site in Ga. named Kent....he always is restoring and selling steering columns...
Thanks I appreciate the response. Just to be clear though, I'm not necessarily looking to keep my car "original" looking. I have aftermarket gauges and 18" wheels. However, I do like supporting members of this forum.
