I've had 2 trucks on OME and very happy with them.  That said, springs are coiled bits of steel, and I'm not convinced there's a huge amount of difference between manufacturers;  the only thing you can really vary is spring rate, and there's not much leeway to be creative or inspired with spring rates.  With dampers, on the other hand, you do seem to get what you pay for, because they're much more complex items.
