I really don't need all the wires and accessories that the other kit comes with. Nor do I need to to look like a factory piece. I just want a modular fuse/relay block so I can add more later if necessary. I guess I could just get one that has a lot of extra ones. I was hoping someone here had one that was the "go to".
I thought that might be what you were asking in your original post but wasn't certain. It sounded like you were leaning towards OEM style.

Here is what I have used with great satisfaction from Blue Sea:

I particularly like the negative buss which is handy for adding miscellaneous accessories later. Blue Sea is best known for providing electrical solutions to the marine industry and it's been my experience their quality exceeds what is necessary for automotive and is priced reasonably. They have a gigantic array of options so if what I've linked doesn't seem right do check out what else is available. If I were to do it again I'd purchase the fuse block which has separate banks for ignition switched vs constant battery +. I added an additional smaller block to handle that but it would have been slightly neater and more compact to do it in a single block.
