This heavily depends on your budget.
HP Drive Tech make very high quality custom applications for a hefty price. They are based in Europe.
Air Lift has the experience to build high quality applications for a fair price. They are based in Michigan so that's a plus if you are near. Their pressure based management is very simple to install and troubleshoot.
Air Rex has great support and a nice all-in-one solution with their leak tested sealed management box with wireless controls etc. They are made in Taiwan but their quality is definitely up there. The only downside is the price, which is quite expensive for an 'Asian' product.
Airtekk makes great entry level applications, but they do not have their own management system. Their prices are extremely good, but the quality may not be as good as the other brands.
There are other brands I don't know much about like BagYard and Air Runner. I've heard many great things from Air Runner but I personally have not seen anyone running them in person.
Having said that, there's a lamborghini running an HP Drive Tech kit, a few friends running Air Lift, one friend running Air Rex, and I'm running Airtekk in my area, all without problems. One feedback I can give is that Air Lift is a more 'OEM' ride compared to Air Rex. I've noticed the Air Rex setup was much stiffer.

I'll be getting my car back from the shop in about a week. Will be on Air Runners and Accuair E-Level. It's kinna pricey and my understanding is the ride is a bit "softer"

I run AirREX Full kit + management. I have nothing to say but good things. I drive my car ~1.5K miles/month and haven't had a single issue. Pricey, yes.. but great peace of mind.

AirRex here as well....over 10k miles. Great product and their customer service is great. They sent me extra check valves b/c mine was not sealing correctly, they stand behind their products!!!

I was shopping around recently and went with Accuair Management with E Level and UAS bags. Just ordered the I level too so I can use my phone app. You can see my trunk set up here. I love it so far, pretty impressive system.

I had Airrex and its a very good but very pricey. I would suggest you get airtekk or airforce struts basically same company with accuair management. If you wanna be a baller you can get the full airrex kit for around 6k
Here some pics i beleive i was the first one with this kit on a 3IS
