I'm a fan of Rancho. The 5000's are good, the 9000's are great, and I haven't tried the RSX's yet.

I have the rancho 9000's on my truck. The only thing is, I don't have the incab adjuster for them, but that is easily added.

The 2nd thing, is that I have only had them for a year, and all 6 have a lot of rust on them already!!! White shocks with rust? Doesn't look good at all. But they work excellent, so thats the main thing.
