Suspension Experiences?

Hi guys!
Im on the cusp of ordering in some suspension fixes for my bike, but here are a few options. I was all sorted and prepared going down the Ohlins road but apparently i can only source fork springs for it....
Locally they are telling me about Wilbers and YSS springs as well as the same in rear shocks but ive also come across Nitron.
Im about 76Kgs - 188cms tall.
Im thinking about Ohlins front fork springs to suit and a Nitron rear shock.
Does anybody else have any other suggestions? Any experience with the other brands?
Cheers

Get .95 Sonic or Race Tech,fork springs, cut 3-3/8" +/- PVC preload spacers (use RaceTech fork spring washers on top & under spacers; add as many reqd to fine tune), synthetic 5 wt aprox. (varies by mfgr) 16 cSt @ 40c fork fluid with 5.5" approx. air gap (springs out, forks compressed, the usual process...), ang play around.
