Thumbs down Donahoe vs. Fox shocks

Have a 7" Donahoe lift on my X with the Donahoe shocks. The front right shock blew for no reason and now just over a week later the left one is leaking. I'm looking at replacing these with either the reservoir type Donahoe shocks or the Fox 2.0 reservoir-types. Anyone have either of these on the front of their X? Maybe a dual shock setup instead? Suggestions......?

Upgraded the whole rig to Fox 2.0's and so far so good. Every single one of the Donahoe shocks blew within 6 months. Everybody seemed shocked when I told them that the Donahoe shocks went, but I can't be the only one and it's too much of a coincidence that they ALL blew within weeks of each other!!! Fox are rebuildable, and I have them on all my toys as well.... the only thing that I've had that was as good or better than Fox on my toys was Ohlins.
