For Contax C/Y, I would go with the Rayqual/Kindai adapter (you can get it at Cameraquest.com). I had the Kindai and the Novoflex, and I much prefer the Kindai (bigger and more screws on the mount, hit exact infinity - Novoflex overshot a little). However, the Novoflex ASTAT is a nice add-on and Kindai doesn't offer the equivalent (the tripod mount version of the Kindai is not very intuitive - circular base...). So you see what is more important for you.
The ASTAT is the reason I went with the Novoflex. I wanted a good rotatable adapter for my S-Planar 60, and it was and, to the best of my knowledge, still is the best thing going. Mine hits infinity without a problem but the locking mechanism is no better than what you get out of cheaper adapters. The nice thing about the ASTAT is that it works on any of their e-mount adapters, so I've got their FD as well, which is very nice.
I've never used Rayqual, but I've heard good things. I've used Kipon for their shift and tilt adapters, and they're very good. I have the Fotodiox and Rainbow Imaging C/Y adapters and they're solid, but both needed to be shimmed to hit infinity at the hard stop, a task that was made more difficult having to work around the spring lock mechanism.
