Which struts/shocks are better Competition Engineering or KYB?

Hey guys me and a friend are in the market for some new suspension stuff and struts/shocks are first on our list. Are the KYB and Competition Engineering any good?
Thanks

Well, KYB's did wonders for my friends Dodge Stealth R/T. He liked them a lot and they did feel A LOT better over the stock ones. I have the KYB's sitting in my room right now waiting to be installed next week in the garage. I except to get my 155 bucks worth.
