I can only speak for a Z, but I was so pleased with the Wilbers on my revious Z that the first thing I did on the new one was get another Wilbers shock.

A couple more to add to your list...

Yacugar ER-S 370EUR

Nitron NTR Sport 560EUR

I went for the Yacugar on my XTZ, which I am really pleased with, both in terms of price and performance.

My XTR will get a Ohlins.. One of the main
reasons is theres a Ohlins service agent here in NZ
that also sells... I try to give my $ to NZ out fits
when possable.. prise wise...
Ohlins are about as good as shocks come..depending on model..
