As was said above, in Oz OME shocks aren't really rated that much. They are better than Toyota but have been known to have fade issues on long stretches of washboard and they don't seem to recover to well even after being left to cool. The new OME shock design is meant to overcome this.
Bilsteins are a much better bet, the mono tube works better over washboard as it disapates the heat much more successfully. But the shorter standard lengths aren't a good choice for rocks.
Ranchos seem pretty good for rock crawling ( I think mainly due to their longer lengths) but aren't great expedition shocks.
Fox/Kings are the don, but you pay for the priviledge.
I went with RidePro shocks to replace my Bilsteins as they had softer low speed compression valving and a much longer stroke. Time will let as to their longevity, but the ride is much nicer. And the wheel travel is
