I was about to vouch for the xig, and i got it mixed up with something else.
Never used a xiggy, but i can vouch for this one:

The ocz vendetta ...

The existing lever arm thing that comes with the vanilla 1283 will work, and save you money on a bolt through kit you don't need. Just get the vanilla 1283. There's really no need for the dark knight version unless you're fixed on getting a black heatsink.

Quoting myself.

The decision is obvious. The V8 has a 120mm fan and the 9500a has a 92mm fan. Plus Coolermaster is an AWESOME company. Everything they make is awesome to me. Anyway, V8 is the obviously better cooler.
