Which is correct?
What you have to remember about Toyhax is that their sets are more custom based. Sometimes they're even smaller than the original, (see my Hammerhead restoration.) and sometimes they take a few liberties with color and other details.
wormyworms are more of a direct copy.
Have you considered Rattler Repros? There are pros and cons. His shipping takes a while and they aren't precut, but they're usually a lot cheaper that the others. His are $18 bucks.

I use all three depending on very different factors.
wormyworms - Precut, decent prices, on eBay so you get tracking and buyer protection with PayPal. Takes about a week or less. His decals aren't as crisp as the others, almost dull. To me his are more vintage copies, so if it doesn't really matter to you, use him. He doesn't have the selection others have either. I use him for vehicles I restore then sell on eBay.
ToyHax - Precut, about a week or so shipping. Some of their custom sets are really nice. These are premium decals and you pay for it. If you have one piece you really want to shine, use them. They also don't have everything Rattler Repros has. (Sky Raven for example.)
Rattler Repros, he was the first and his stuff is nice and bright, but most are not precut. He has a few that are, like the glow in the dark stuff for Night Force, etc. His prices are lower than the others. For most vehicles I've restored I've used his decals. I have his Terror Drome and Flagg decals I need to apply, and it's going to be a nightmare because I'll have to cut out all the little "No step" or "Caution" decals... not looking forward to it haha, but I saved a ton of money and in the end they'll look nice. His Flagg decals were half what Toyhax was selling for, so I'll suck it up, haha. His shipping takes alost a month because he's in Mexico and they need to clear customs.
In the end it comes down to personal preference. Like I said I use all three depending on all those factors.
