If you like to save money like me go with the Monroes.

I'll tell you my story. I needed new upper front strut mounts in my V70 and my indie quoted me $350, alignment included, with me providing the parts. That sounded like a lot of dough to me just for mounts installation.

My local Sears had the Monroe sensa-trac struts for sale $99 each installed. I asked the service manager if they would install the mounts for me, and he said YES, no extra charge. So for $250, alignment included, I had my mounts installed and I ended up with new front struts in the end.

I am happy with my choice, ride is soft and confortable, which is what I was looking for. The car's ride now is better that with the old OEM struts.

Whatever brand you decide on, replace the rubber strut mounts.
