The standard for after-market match triggers (and available for "Big Hole" Colts) is the Geissele High Speed Trigger from Geissele Automatics. Bill only makes AR/M16 triggers. They've been tested to 200,000 + cycles. They're hand fitted. They have the fastest lock-time of all aftermarket triggers and take GI hammer and trigger springs.
There are two grades -- National Match and Super Semi Automatic.
The Jewell has a fairly slow lock time compared to the Geissele but is faster than the Knight's Armaments trigger. The hammer springs are also lighter and tend to wear out quicker. The hammer and trigger pins are also not secured in the lower receiver as well and may "Walk" or work themselves out the side of your lower.

I'll "3rd" the recommendation. I just had two installed; one in a .308, the other in a 5.56. I went with their DMR trigger, it's a little different from the two you (Sinister) listed; the web site does a better job of explaining the difference than I can. They've also got a non-adjustable version now that is supposed to "blow the RRA triggers out of the water". They were NOT drop ins; however, installation was fairly straightforward and the end result is well worth it. To put it in context - I've used a Krieger-Milazo (sp?) in my service rifle for the last 15 years with no complaints, I run the RRA 2 stage triggers in my carbines, and I've used friend's rifles with the Jewel triggers. I'm thoroughly impressed with the Giesseles. My .02.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
