I had a shop recommended KYB, but I went for the cheaper Monroe brand on Amazon. I got it installed today and so far the ride is smooth.
Pros: ride is smooth
Cons: cheaper brand

Shock Absorber is always a good thing to a lot while you're thinking about it.
Pros: good thing
Am montat pe 2 masini diferite (O2 si O2 FL) monroe respectiv kyb si nu observ nicio diferenta intre ele. Ambele sunt ok si la confort si la stabilitate.
Pros: confort si stabilitate
Cons: nicio diferenta observata
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Been using monroe in my 08 optra with a cng kit, it's working great for Indian roads for me. Planning to install monroe on my 09 city as well.
Pros: working great for roads
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Monroe are okay but expect them to last maybe 50k miles, not 100k. Monroe is as close to OEM ride as you will get in aftermarket.
Pros: close to OEM ride
Cons: shorter lifespan
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I have had decent luck with the Monroe ready-struts, they are decent enough for an older car, but they aren't the best things in the world either.
Pros: decent enough
Cons: not the best
Yeah they held my car a few years back for rotors and I called my typical mechanic and explained my situation. My mech basically said the guys was holding my car hostage and that I could drive on it and they'd personally come by with a loaner and take my car for me.
Cons: holding car hostage
Same Monroe box you get at Napa for these. FWIW these are trash. Ride quality will be different and they won’t last very long.
Cons: ride quality different, won’t last
Yes Monroe are junk. Anything Tenneco touches usually becomes junk. Monroe started coming OE on Audi in the last couple years and I am seeing them fail in as little as 15,000 miles.
Cons: Monroe are junk, fail quickly
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 15000 km
Bought some Monroe's for my Camry. They were crap. I returned them.
Cons: crap, returned them
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
