whatever one you like. the one to avoid is the autofashion animal kit as it looks absolutely horrible.
zeemax kits are nice, and quite nice to fit if you get the proper zeemax one and not a cheap copy otherwise you be filling loads of cracks and cutting bits up because they dont fit.
whatever kit you get will only look good if you do an excellent job in fitting it and getting it all lined up

If you are fitting speakers in the rear shelf you really want a "Baffle board" anyway. Basically you need to make a wooden shelf to sit on the metal shelf. This-

1, Produces a dense surface for the speakers to bolt to.
2, stops the sound resonating through the car
3, allows you to mount speakers above the fuel tank :) (it raises the speakers up)
