What is your budget and what are you attempting to receive?

What dish and receiver?

Maybe an inexpensive DRO is adequate or you may need a extremely stable PLL.

I have on mine the 8515 Cband lnb on mine with a norsat 1207HA Ku.

i have a 10ft dish going to a open box x5 receiver along with a link box hd8000 receiver, don't want anything too expensive but just want something stable, I'm picking up most of the clarke belt are, all the way from 78w to 127 west,

Any Norsat part number Ku LNB ending in C is the wrong frequency range for FTA

Unless you are trying to lock low symbol rate audio or high FEC marginal signal quality feeds, save your money. Low cost DRO LNBs will do just fine for your system. If you want or require greater stability, go with the internal reference PLL units. Your budget will probably be the major factor in your decision...

Check out these Norsats:
C: 8115 - $90 or 8515 - $80
KU: 4106a or 4206a - $70

I would also consider the NJRC (National Japan Radio Corporation) LNBs. Installed many NJRC units through the years and they keep on running!

Norsat is the best imo. what i use

The other consideration is how you are going to power the LNBs. This is more important if you will be using multiple receivers at the same time. I used the 8115 version for my c-band setup and was very pleased.
