Question Which Full Coilover would you get?

I'm currently looking into purchasing full coilovers for my 1990 Civic Hatch. I have my eye on 4 brands so far, and I am stuck as to which one I should get. I'm currently looking at the Skunk2 Pro Series (no pillowball mounts), Tein Basics (no pillowball mounts), D2 w/ pillowball mounts, and Function and Form w/ pillowball mounts. I can get each for $6-700 shipped and am wondering if anyone had any of these coilover sets, and what they had to say about them.

I would reccomend OMNI or H&R full coil-over systems

the only reason i said not teins, was because I wouldn't want to deal with a rustable shock body.. but some of their upper ones are alu i guess..

i'd go with the skunk2's... the d2's/form and functions are those taiwanese clones. Also, the tein basic's really arent anything special. Ive ridden in a few cars with basics, and I was unimpressed to say the least.
