I''ve used Raytheon autopilots before with good results and just fitted a new below-decks system to my Nicholson 45. Good stuff!

Either B&G or Raytheon pilots will work well for you, but I strongly recommend buying a system which is "over qualified" to steer your boat. Below deck systems typically have a lot more reserve grunt available when the going gets tough. Yes they are harder to install initially, but in the long run they should last longer and be less stressed.
