I can't, first-hand, speak to the quality of any discos besides JKS
and Rubicon Express. However, for these two...

JKS's work great for at least the first 6 months. After that, the
joints do get a bit worn (probably would help if I was more religious
in greasing them in the provided zerks), but they're still not
difficult to use.

The Rubicon Express ones (on my friend's rig w/the 4.5" longarm kit)
SUCK. It took us half an hour to get the damn things to line up so we
could get the pins in, one at a time.

The JKS design is definitely more forgiving of a surface that is not
100% perfectly level. I would recommend them. They're by no means as
easy as tying a shoe in all situations, but they're the best I've
seen, and my only real complain using them is getting my hands
greasy...and who gives a FF about that?? ;-)

Hope that helps.

the rubicon ones are OK, but takes a while to get them in, but if you just
drill/sand the coloum wider than it slides in quicker, stock the fit is
really tight and hard to get back together
