The KYBs are super cheap, but I can't really comment on their quality because my car had them all the way around when I got it and they are toast, but they sat for 13 years and were used for who knows how long before that.
If you have the money for around 120 a shock, go with bilstein or Koni. If you can't afford it I would get the gas adjust KYBs.
I am low on funds, so I am going to try Konis up front and KYB in the back since I need four of the damn things

KYBs on my X300 saloon/sedan were HORRIBLE - crash, bash every bump in the road.
I therefore retrieved my original Bilsteins from the mechanic's skip (luckily not emptied) and had them rebuilt by a guy in NZ who was trained at Bilstein factory in Germany. As good as a new one, plus new Jaguar soft bushes, no urethane. Got my Waft back...

Either one is right around $120 a shock.
I have heard some great things about the bilsteins, but I like that the konis are adjustable. Both are monotube gas
