Are you building a strut cylinder from the old strut or are you trying to buy a replacement hydraulic strut?

because you are looking at a basic front kit(up and down.)what you want is a front with side.meaning extra dump and fittings, hoses etc.

I have never had any problems with cylinders other than your normal o-ring replacement...I have had Reds and Showtime and one was no better than the other for me
