I have bilsteins on mine, very happy with them, after a 5500km trip through the simmo and surrounding area they did not fade at all or give any problems.
hd monroes but only done 100km max on them not much help i know but they were cheap
I think it all depends on what type of driving your doing.
I've ran EFS, ironman and tough dog. The later two as a foamcell. Never had a problem with any. However I have heard that the foamcell doesn't like hours of corrugated roads.
Other thing is for you want adjustable ones?
I have had a couple of sets of arb old man emu shockers and never had a problem. My use is more weekend 4x4ing rather than any hardcore trips across Australia.
the new sport ome are the ones I heard aboutQuote:

Bilstein are a very good shock and can be rebuilt. We fit a lot to 4wd's at work and customers are very happy.
Yeah mine are the standard OME nitro's, put them in a couple of years ago into GU7. Wife complains they are too stiff but she is used to a vehicle built for comfort, not adventure. Had a set that looked exactly the same 15 years ago in a 4runner. Haven't changed their branding in a while but reliable shocker IMOQuote:
