With that mild of a drop you can use any of the 3.

Are the Tokico's you're referring to the Tokico Blues, or the Illuminas (adjustable)? If you're referring to the Blues, I would probably not consider those unless you're on a budget. If you are on a budget you may also want to consider the KYB GR2s. Anyway, the Illuminas are a step above the KYB AGXs, and the Koni Yellows are a step above the Illuminas.

The best shock is by far the Koni Yellow (or Sport, whatever you want to call it). I would go with the Koni, because if you end up going with suspension that is a bit lower and/or stiffer in the future, you will end up with too much spring for either the Illuminas or the KYBs. The Yellows also have a much larger range of adjustability than the AGXs and even the Illuminas.

Since you're in San Diego, make sure to check out http://www.shox.com - they have great prices on all 3 of the shocks you listed and they're local.
