If I were the type that put only a few hundred miles on my car every year,
the refurbished Armstrongs would probably do me for life, but I use mine as
an (almost) daily driver. I have heard stories of the poor life of the
Armstrongs. Maybe true or not, but replacing a couple of tube shocks takes
a couple hours. Pulling a couple of the Armstrongs is a big pain and puts
the car out of action for a good while.

I disagree.
The stories you have heard are stories of people who didn't realise that to
have a shock that lasts darned near as long as the car, you need to do a
little minor maintenance once every few years.
Armstrongs will last a very long time if kept topped up.
And anyone that takes more than an hour to change a shock shouldn't be
allowed out alone, and certainly shouldn't be allowed to play with tools!
