I'm with Jeremiah except that, as you know, I don't have any experience beyond the Flex's.
However, if I were going to put some on my 'track' car, I've heard nothing but great things about them and they are certainly on the low-end when it comes to cost.

Car Info: 2004 Subaru STI/WRX Silver of course
My buddy back in Washington Auto-X almost everytime there is one and he has the AGX and has had them for about 4 years. He also has Ground Control coilovers on them and Ground Control Camber plates he corner balanced the car himself (his friend has access to scales) the parts are on a 93 SE-R can handles really well...I'm sure if you search around you find pro's and con's for both brands I have never used the AGX but have used Tokico blue's and liked them I think both are good.

Sounds awesome, Dan. Since my wife is going back to work, the Wagon is going to undergo a few engine mods. Still running the Cobb Stage 2, for now, but I am looking at either the 2.2 or EJ257 for a shortblock. Not going to stay with stock pistons and rods, though. I've seen the 257 pistons explode like the death star, and the 2.2's are way too low ofa compression.
I've got the rest of the car pretty set. With the StopTech 332mm BBK up front, and the DMS 40's, my brakes and suspension are set (except for a whole round of bushings bushings bushings, and I still need to get all my mounts and ALK put on), now it is engine time. Where exactly are you going to be? PM with details since I don't check in here too often and am leaving for the field for over a month.

I do plan on visiting this shop next time I'm in Vegas:
