Yes, get the good ones.
I went with cheap struts (ScanTech) for my rear hatch on my wagon. They're a LOT stiffer than the OEM part, and if the temperature is above 65°F, they make a hideous, loud groaning noise as you open or close the hatch.
I mean, they WORK, but they work POORLY.
And as our Saabs get older, the last thing you need is a hassle getting the hood open. ;)
