Suspension brand comparison/suggestions!

I am looking at replacing shocks/springs with nice coilovers. I do not want to pay outrageous name brand prices, but I don't want cheap crap that will ride bad or break easily. I have not heard of some of the brands I found and would like some feedback from you guys.

Basically, have you ever used these brands or heard good/bad thing bout them?...
(X= I've never heard of em)

Tanabe X
Tien
ST X
Skunk 2
Progress X
Pic Performance X
Megan Racing
KW X
K Sport X
KYB
Koni
Eibach
Buddy Club
Blox X
B&Gn X
Apexi

I know this is a long list and that a lot of these have been covered in other threads but I kinda want a side by side comparison type of critique.

P.S. I accidentally posted this in the 7th gen section originally and on accident.

A good price is and a great ride is KBY shocks. Yes they are not coilovers, but they are very good shocks when used with good springs. I love them. My EK drives on rails with them.
