People always rate the Tamiya as the best hands down but I have to say that I have been using the current Yokomo and Kyosho TF-5 shocks too and they are also excellent.

Schumacher's new Mi3 shocks (same as the EC but with an extra bleed hole in the shock cap) are so easy to fill compared with any other. I matched all 8 shocks I had first time!
I also have some TRF shocks but I have replaced these with Mi3's

the Tamiya TRF shocks are the benchmark when building or using new shocks that's the reason why they are the best shocks in the market today

Xray adjustable are killer. Nothing like being able to change damping in a couple minutes. Certainly one of the most innovative RC inventions. Only thing I'd like to see is an metal shock body.

Personally I'd rather change the oil and keep the same piston, for the purpose of more consistent "pack" in high-speed damping.
