Default Which LCA's should I go with?

I'm contemplating which LCA's I should order. The budget calls for either the BMR TCA019's or the J&M 23861B's. I like that the BMR's have the bushings pre-assembled, and you just have to grease them, but I kind of like the look of tubular LCA's such as the J&M. Any pros/cons of the two?

I have the BMRs. They are great on a DD. Minor increase on noise if at all.
Greasing very easy. (basically every oilchange, although using the synthetic grease, I am not so sure it needs it that often.) Need a grease gun with flexible hose. (do not take one with rigid it will be difficult to get the back nipples....)

Not sure if you have ever checked out the spohn lowers, but they are a good choice too.

Here are some more GREAT choices. Espesscialy if on a budget, but honestly, I used a set of these on another car and liked them better then the BMRs I put on my own car. Super high quality, very nice.

Is it just 1-2 pumps when you grease them? Thanks for reccomending spohn. I've never heard of 'em, and it looks like they carry good stuff.

Hi, Just wanted to say I have the Spohn and I love the setup. I have the spherical rod ends and i am completely happy. A lot of people tried to discourage me from getting them stateing they were going to be noisey and rough but they arnt and I love how the car handles.There the black ones theres a drop down window since they offer them in red too. You can pretty much build your pieces the way you want. Nice quality.
