Hatch shock questions

Which brand of hatch shocks do their job the best and last the longest ? Seems there are some out there that can't hold the hatch up in the cold weather after a year or two . When these things start to fail , but the owner isn't aware they won't hold the hatch up when the temps drop , the hatch coming down can be really dangerous . They can hold at the top for a moment then move very slowly and then pick up speed when coming down while the person under the hatch doesn't notice because they are looking down . That hatch is really heavy and can really hurt someone . I don't even think a manufacturer should be allowed to sell hatch shocks (for this car) that don't last for quite a few years , because of the safety issue with shocks that are just starting to loose their pressure . Does anyone know what the OEM brand is and if its still well made ? TIA
