That is what I would recommend, and it is what almost all of my customers
buy.  They do a great job and they hold up well. As for the hatch "flying up
on you" with the these, I've never heard of that. Although they are higher
pressure than stock, they aren't THAT high pressure. (At least the ones we
sell, which are OEM. I can't comment on aftermarket ones that may be sold
elsewhere.)
