Default Suspension Pieces ?

With all of the different suspension manufactures,
are they all about the same as for quality or
is there a particular one that sets the standard?

I've noticed Meyle has improved with larger albeit "improved" components but for whatever reason Blauparts has switched to Ocap(sp) as their preferred vendor.

Just wondering if someone has any input?

When it comes to suspension arms, Meyle does NOT have a great reputation for quality and longevity.
TRW and Lemforder are statistically the longest lasting and most praised.

Ocap has the WORST rep in the business...have never heard of ONE happy ending with their VERY short-lived parts.
