Please enlighten me... I've never heard of an issue where konis have had 'reliability' issues. I tried to kill mine (not intentionally) and couldnt, even at 90+ mph through grass and gravel traps, with 4 wheels off the ground.

No doubt a Koni 28xx (or its equivalent strut insert) is going to be better, but they're going to be over $2000 for a set of dampers. The 'real' dampers usually also have a compression adjustment too, and this may or may not be a good thing depending on what your goals are.
I think a set of revalved/reworked yellows, while not the 'best', is a pretty good value in terms of whats out there and they certainly get the job done - I know i'm all up in the kool aid on this one, but plenty of lap records have been set with these "street shocks".
