Get the best of which ever one you decide. If replacing rear, and strut upper plastic (dust cover) and bumper inside is shot, you dont get new ones with Monroe, i had to special order a set at auto parts store

Little difference between the two. Both good OE type replacements. I vote KYB adjustable.

the least expensive line in Gabiel are J-U-N-K. Either buy the Monroe or Gabriel's better line (comparable to the Monroe Sensa-trac) so you don't have to do the job twice.

that is correct Jeff, their good ones are called Ultra or something like that, avoid the cheapo store brand ones.
