2011 Base Stereo - High Level/Recode for Low Level/Mobridge?

Hi, first post here.

I currently have the base stereo (no tweets, HU power, I-drive, 6FL, sedan). I have a few choices, but want to get some input on the output section.

1 - Keep HL outputs, use DSP (Cleansweep or if $ permits Helix, etc.)
2 - Recode to Stereo for 5v outputs - no DSP and straight to amps
3 - Recode for Mobridge - no DSP and straight to amps

option #2 is the most cost effective - my question - Is there a significant difference from using the HL vs LL output for BMWs?

The rest of my systems would be:
- 4 channel amp (Alpine PDX, Zapco ST-D - because they are small and a good value)
- Comps: MB quart QSD 210(passive = cost effective and simple for me)
- Gladen woofers underseat
- 2 channel to the rears for the PDC/rear fill (if HL, then would just use HU to power)


FYI: The time alignment would be nice, but I'm usually driving with a passenger so I don't think I need that portion of it. Maybe down the road.

Thanks for all your help in advance.
