I am looking to replace the struts on my rear hatch due to the fact that they are not lifting very well anymore. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or experience with replacements other than OEM?

Here are the choices from ecstuning. Any other suggestions appreciated.

BMW OEM $43.18 each
MTC $16.46 each
Stabilus $33.95 each
ÏRO $12.95 each
