koni is the best of the three, but if money is an issue, go with something cheaper...

really? they might have a stiffer maximum dampening rate, but the kyb's don't handle a really stiff spring rate as well as the koni's. when i say stiff i'm talking bout 450+ lb's race springs though, they'll handle the skunk2's.

actually they do...i think you might be reffering to the drop that the kyb's can't handle...I've heard of kyb's being paired up with 600+ lb ground control coilovers and are doing fine...but as far as which will last longer, well that's obviously koni since they can be rebuilt...
