Mine is the Rostra one on the left side of the steering column (stationary, like the signal light and wiper stalks). I was kinda disappointed since I was under the impression the Rostra was only something you order and install yourself.

Like CTScott said, it has an indicator directly on it, but it has no way to tell you whether or not you've got it "set". Even worse, the wheel completely blocks it, so I can't see if it's on unless the wheel is turned or I move my head.

My father-in-law's Prius has the OEM cruise with the stalk on the right side of the wheel itself (it turns with the steering wheel). I found this one far more comfortable to use.

I imagine it would be more work (and money) to install the true OEM unit. My instrument cluster doesn't have a cruise indicator, so that would probably need to have been swapped out. There might be other stuff inside that might have needed changing as well.
