Suggestions needed for NTFS write support in Mavericks

[sunnyimran]

Hi everybody,
I am a newbie in MAC world, I am looking for cross platform NTFS full access for my Windows 7 NTFS partition into MAC

After spending days on net search I got following solutions

Open Source solutions:
1) ntfs-3g-2010.10.2-macosx.dmg ( needs OSXFUSE.dmg)
Issue:
Works in 32bit kernel, may not be reliable on Mavericks, very slow performance

2) ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2014.2.15 [Tuxera Community version]
Issue:
needs to be compiled on target system. for this needs MacPorts/Homebrew and MacPorts/Homebrew needs Xcode and its command line tools.

Q.1 Do I need to go through all this stuff to just get this item installed and working in Mavericks? I mean Xcode is really huge 2.xx GB and what I will use MacPorts/Homebrew, I just need NTFS support at the moment ?

Q.2 Should all that stuff specially xcode need to stay installed once the compilation and installation is over?​

PAID Applications

1. Tuxera NTFS
2. Paragon NTFS

I want to try Paragon NTFS 11, recently released and Paragon much vouched on internet than Tuxera.
But, I have some hesitating questions before I get Paragon.

a) If MAC OS or any components of it, library etc gets updated, or I played with system which affects Paragon installation, will this corrupt/malfunction Paragon?

b) If Paragon crashes/misbehaves for any reason, can it corrupt my NTFS drives/partitions or would they stay safe and accessible in Windows?

c) Is it possible to selectively enable/disable my NTFS drive/partitions under Paragon but keep enabled under mavericks?

​

This is to reduce the risk, I want to keep all my NTFS drives disabled from Paragon till i need to full access. Of course Mavericks gives native Read access and I trust, it would not harm the contents on my NTFS drives.

waiting for answers
thanks
