OK...time to buy coilovers! AllPro or DR?

Alright everyone, I know I've posted this before but I'm still torn between the Donahoe and AllPro coilover setups. I love the idea of the adjustibility of the AllPro while I know DR has a great reputation. I'm basically looking to just level out the front and improve performance. I do some light offroading, mainly on the beach, and that's about it. This is like a personal survey that will ultimately force me to choose one of the two. Please throw in your two cents. I still haven't heard to much on the ride quality of the DRs vs. the AllPros so any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you make this into a poll, it would be easier for people to reply and for you to tabulate the results.

Oh, and my vote:
DR's

Re: OK...time to buy coilovers! AllPro or DR?

Wow not even one vote for AllPro yet huh. Looks like the scale is leaning toward DRs. + I know they are now capable of weatherproof coating them too by special order. Thats definately a plus living 1/4 mi from the oceanfront. I have kings on my tundra that aren't looking too good after a few years by the ocean.

Yeah, get the coating if you live on the east coast near the water. A friend of mine has SAW's that are all rusted out.

Re: OK...time to buy coilovers! AllPro or DR?

Allpros stuff is awesome, I just know that I am not the type to 'adjust it' - it is in my nature to set something up one way and forget about it.
