Default tokiko vs. trd shocks.. thoughts?

Not sure if I'm even going to upgrade, but going for NF210's springs... which i imagine will put a little more pressure on the stock shocks. Any opinions on which shocks take the win?

i have had my NF-210's on stock shocks for almost a year and feels wonderful and no signs of wear. If i had to change them i would proble go with the TRD Replacement's. Im sure the Tokiko are great but i rather have the TRD's.

I've been riding on NF210's with the stock shocks for 30k miles; rides just like the day I had them installed.
