Ohlins and Scotts are the top of the market, but there are many other good brands that work just as well. Hyperpro, GPR, Toby, Harris, Matris... etc etc. If you want the best 'name brand' then Ohlins or Scotts. If you just want the best bang for the buck, then all of the others work just as well. It's like buying a Cadillac Escalade or a Chevy Avalanche. One cost more and has more trinkets, but they have the same engine. :drink
