Got a Zeta 2 with genuine rails. All good for track and daily. Can do headchecks no probs. Have driven long distances no prob as the seating position is prob how I'd have it set for a reclinable anyway.
I used a Zeta fixed back
seat was fine comfortability wise
STRONGLY reccomend sitting in a set before you buy.
i had rails made so i can't comment on Genuine Bride ones.

I've not got a Bride but I used to drive 2.5 hours to Oran Park about once or twice a month, 4.5 hours to Wakefield park about 2 or 3 times a year and about 15 minutes to work every day.
Only thing I didn't like about a fixed back was that you can get very hot in one, not much ventilation when the seat wraps you up and then is backed by fibreglass.
I used to get a bit numb after driving to Wakefield, drifting all day then driving home.
But that's like a whole day in the seat, I suspect I'd feel a bit stiff and numb in just about any seat after that period of time in one.
Definitely sit in one first, you'll probably find that most Bride's suit skinny arse people. I bought my seat off a skinny mate but he wasn't skinny enough to be comfy in my fixed back.
I had a Brix 1.5 and a Zeta 2 in my FC, Both were awesome, although if I had the choice again I would probably only get a fixed back for a dedicated track car.
Its not that its uncomfortable, more unpracticle - hard to headcheck, hard to get in and out of (especially with a dished steering wheel, though you get used to it.) and your always stuck in the one upright position.. you can't relax..and your girlfriend will have trouble finding a good position
Go a bride reclinable like the brix 2, holds you just as well, and is a hell of a lot more practicle.
