Both comps have their fans.
However I have never seen anyone
bad mouth Hotchkis like many do BMR.
Hotchkis and G2 are generally considered
top end products while BMR is low end.
Not flaming here just stating common
opinion that may or may not be deserved.

I have several Hotchkis pieces and no BMR.
I got G2 LCA's

I just switched from Hotchkis boxed LCAs (poly/poly) to Global West sperical/poly combo. Do a search and you'll read about binding caused by poly/poly ends. The sperical/poly combo will keep the suspension from binding yet not have the harsh vibration of a LCA with sperical joint on both ends. I also like Global West's design in that the sperical joint is located inside a metal loop; if the joint was to fail, the loop should keep the rearend in place until you get the car stopped.
