Default After Market table saw fence

I have a Rigid TS2424 contractor table saw and am planning to replace
the rip fence. Overall happy with the saw, it has cast iron top and has
stood the test of time. Not a bad fence on the saw just finicky so
want to put something on the machine that will hold its "trueness"
better then the stock fence.

I have looked at the Biesemeyer, Shop Fox, Vega and others and
now asking those in this group what their take is on the fences
out there. What models did you buy that you liked or didn't like?

My only parameter that matters is (as always) price. I would
like to cap the price at around $300.

The Rigid saw uses bolts that fit into T slotted guides in the front and
rear of the saw so in my search I have been guided by how difficult it
would be to install this fence. It seems that most of the after market
fences can be installed using this method but am open to having
to do some metal work to fit the new fence.

TIA
