It's russian roulette here.. but i'd go BC given they're more well known so parts and competent rebuilders will be readily available

Double check the GABs your getting are from actual Japan company, which I don't think exists anymore.
Some from ebay look to be from malaysia, which has nothing to do with Japan..2 diff companies and products

I myself am using GAB SS coilovers for my KRX
And they are pretty good.

BC racing coilovers are not buddyclub coilovers. They stand for BorChan, and are made in Taiwan. From what I have read, BC's first lot of coilovers (V1 series and such) had poor quality control and were not very good, and hence have a bad stigma put against their name. However, their latest series (gold BR, ER) have been a greatly improved and I have only read good reviews about them, since they are based on the tein design and other improvements. Having said that, I haven't read of anyone having the set of BC BRseries coilovers for more than a year, since they're still new, and so reliability and life span is yet to be determined.

I don't know the exact tech details but I've read the BR are better built and generally improved over V1

My BC BR have gone 3 years so far with no issues at all ^_^

3 years and 15000k?

a time period is meaningless

Yeah very true, big oversight on my part.

In that case, I've only run them for 9000km over 3 years (I don't drive much lol)
