The Tokico HPs are going to be a better damper. I have heard of reliability and longevity problems with the KYB AGX adjustables. If you need something that has adjustability the Tokico Illumina is a much better option. I would go 100% with the HP dampers out of thoes two.

What springs are you running, I think the KYB dampers would be fine with stock or stock-like spring rates.

Cheapest place to buy them is probably ebay. I got mine there for about $430 and I think there is a guy that sells some for close to $400 now.

I have the KYB's and while I like them, they are to stiff even on the softest setting for my use of my car. I wish I had gotten strange adjustable shocks/struts. But I'm a street/strip guy so I need a strut that will raise better on the loose setting for better weight transfer.
