Longest lasting hydraulic hood supports?

I want to buy some new supports for my Z. I purchased some for my RS about 6 months ago from YearOne. I was just wondering if anyone had any feedback on what ones last the longest or what. The ones I purchased from YearOne I have not had any problems with, though I do not remember the manufacturer. Now, I need to buy some more and want to know exp. of anyone concerning this. Thanks in advance for feedback.

My Z has "StrongArm" supports on the hood and trunk. They work good so far, although I'm not sure exactly how good they're overall lifespan is.

The ones with a lifetime warranty, so you can replace them when they inevitably go bad for free.

Keep them clean and lubed, that helps some.
