The genuine Saab struts are what I install at the shop. They tend to go 120-140k before needing replacement, usually due to creaking. If you got 360k on the first set why use anything else? If you have lowering springs, can opt for the "sport" spec struts and shocks to keep things tight. The genuine struts and shocks are pretty inexpensive as well. Front require a spring compressor to swap struts. Be sure to inspect for broken springs front and rear depending on your location. New strut bearings and mounts are good up front as well.
