Looking for options for a quality direct drive extruder for a Prusa i3

I am trying to find something that is quality, has the ability for qucik filament changes and can provide direct drive. I have been looking at the Bulldog XL, the Bondtech and the Unique Prototyping's extruder [shop.uniqueprototyping.com] but they all look like they will run into the right side of the printer when trying to get to the right side of the buiild plate. Thanks for any tips

Sometimes you have to give up a few mm of build envelope to make a nonstandard extruder fit. I doubt you can print anywhere near the edge of the build plate anyway, so you aren't really giving up anything.

I use a BullDog XL and it has been absolutely reliable for the last 8 months (printing ABS only). I haven't had to clear a single jam from it or the hot-end (E3D v6).
