Hello-

IMHO, the 930 isn't such a great choice for most people. It has a VERY tall 1st gear... an overall ratio of about 9.50. For most people, that's almost like starting out in 2nd gear. Strong? Yes. Usable on the street day to day? Not unless you have a HUGE crapload of torque... and even then it's kinda painful.

The 915 is very, very strong as-is. Unless you have a 400hp+ engine that you want to use in a high load, high duration activity (like 12-24 hr. road racing), I really think that the 930 is unnecessary.

The G50 is a great tranny... quite strong, and the ratios tend to suit a street car well. The problem is that they are much heavier (~50lb more than even a 915!) and much bigger. It will be a major chore to get them to fit.

IMHO, stick with 901 or 915.
