Cannondale Lefty ELO Titanium (100mm travel)

I really have no idea about the various shock brands and their product ranges.. is there a clear cut advantage that one brand has over another for a particular condition or riding style, or is it more a Shimano vs Campy type thing in that all brands can do most everything very well, and it's more to do with individual preference?

Maybe I should spend a lazy afternoon at work educating myself

I have a Rockshox Psylo, and a Manitou Mars (you have not discovered the meaning of plush until you have ridden this fork)

Currently have Bomber Bam 3 on a Kona U'HU
and Drop off Triples on a Stinky.

Both came with the bikes but have had no trouble at all.
Have no experience other than Marzzochi but very happy with their products.
