Although KYB makes good quality OEM struts as well as good quality bare strut *cartridges*, their preassembled Strut-Plus aftermarket line use lower quality components and aren't very good... Specifically the top strut bearings are problematic on their Strut-Plus preassembled struts,I really wouldn't recommend them.

I bought KYB struts and a year later the boot was ripped wide open and the strut is exposed.
I’ve had good luck with KYB.
When I replaced the struts on my C30 I went with KYB and so far they're performing great
210 dollars profit on the kyb struts.
I have the KYB with Eibach springs on my GS400. The ride is smooth & controlled
Buy KYB Struts Plus because they are identical to the OEM in replicating the ride and feel.
KYB Quick struts. I have installed them on many cars without complaint. EZ driveway repair and no spring compressor needed.
I just installed KYB Strut-Plus on a B16 Sentra. None of that stacked bellow/bumper garbage that you get with Monroe. The KYB mount threads (8mm) look like shit compared to OE. The included screws do not appear to be strengthened. I would never use the Nissan torque value of 21 ft/lb with an aftermarket job. I chose 15 which still felt risky.
I recently installed KYB struts front/rear on my 2014 (108k miles). Seems to be the best brand for quality & price, plus it’s likely your OEM struts are KYB.
