1/ You've been told (heard) or you have read? People are more likely to post bad reviews than good. That is, they are more likely to complain about about a bad experience. For this to be meaningful you would have to know the conditions under which the dampers failed and also the total number of dampers sold. If there were 10 bad reports for 15 dampers sold then they are crap. If 2 million were sold then they are reliable.
2/ You are giving conflicting goals. You have "trash" roads but are wanting to drop 1.5". Suspension needs travel to work, especially at your budget.

Mike from CSG rates the Flex Z. His opinion is worth taking note of.
