Well, KYB GR2s are certainly good struts. However, their reliability is spotty - some say they last 100k miles, others say they blow out after 10k. Because of that, I decided to go with OEM. I got slightly used CL Type-S shocks for about the same price that I would have paid for GR2's - they offer a slightly stiffer ride than stock, more body control, and will probably last just as long as my originals (135k miles).
