Getting away from the original question/statement: If you want a Cobra that looks and rides like an original, go with ERA. They are built in the spirit of the original 427 Shelby Cobra. All the others mentioned are compromised with modern components and CHROME. If you need a fast modern Cobra on steroids, go with BDR. If you want a quality modern Cobra with modern components and good driveability, go with SPF.
No matter where I go, I'm asked (by old timers) "Is it an original?" That's about the best compliment I can hope for. I simply say "It's an ERA from New Britain". It rides as well as any with absolutely no shakes or rattles or squeaks. It's tight, brakes straight, and comes out of the hole like a bull in a china shop.
