I just traded away one of mine so I am looking into replacing it; I have a fee options here: LGS Prime, GoldStar, Holtek, Winbond chipsets. Is there a practical difference between any of these 16 bit Multi-Io chipsets in terms of speed and compatibility?

Same company, same chips. I've never really had any problems with these.

GoldStar chips have 8250 UART and not 16550 like Winbond ones. That's all the difference I know of for the time being.
