I've Ridden a 6way for 2yrs and have had no problems at all. it took a while to set it up but after that it's amazing. I also haven't blown it up yet and can say that it takes quite a beating now only from tons of small stuff but from huge drops and gaps too.
Really? In two years? Fair play...

hands down!! Cane Creek double barrel.

i had mine for a while and ride 2-4 times a week shuttling, average ten ridea a week, it performs flawlessly, and not one problem yet.

Cane Creek Double Barrel, all the way.tup By far the best rear shock you can buy. Plush, controlled, takes the big hits and proved durable for me. It's like having a custom tuned shock once you get it set up.

cane creek couble barrel, as said above.

there is no guess work with air chambers, all adjusters are independant, it's got a much wider compression and rebound range than anything else.

it's also backed by the best service in the industry; malcolm at cane creek is awesome to deal with

i have two! (pictures on my profile)

Personally i'd say best is 5th Element. My friend has Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9.5, 9.5" of travel, shivers and the shock is insane
