In my opinion the Rostra - it's electronic not vacuum operated.  I installed it several years ago on my 97 Tourer and it's been reliable.  Not trivial to install but worth it I think.  I paid about $500 for the kit IIRC.  It was complete though I did buy extra magnets.  Still having a problem with them occasionally getting flung off the front wheel brake rotor - JB weld surprisingly can fail with the centrifugal force and road shock.  It still works even if several magnets are missing.  On a new install now I would probably find another place like inside the rear wheel "drum" left side so they wouldn't fling off easy.   Writeup at http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,86066.0.html

If you mean a throttle lock the best by far is a Brake Away.  Spendy at around $190 but it's well engineered and executed out of aircraft grade aluminum.  Looks good too.  I put one on 3 of my Valks and the Magna.

The MC Cruise is a good product although pricey. It's all electronic now-a-days. Comes with everything needed including connectors (no harness cutting). Australian company.

The Rostra Cruise control seems to work the best on our Valkyries. I am installing one right now on a customers bike.

I too have an MC Cruise system.  Installed it in 2017. Use it all the time. Thus far quite reliable.  Have put about 30K on the bike since installation.  I found the instructions to be very good.  It is a bit pricey but it performs well.  Vacuum driven actuator on my unit.
