Your question is kind of confusing. Those aren't different brands they are one brand. The brand is KYB. I have the gr2 struts and they work awesome. The gr2 are the gas strut, and the AGX are the adjustable gas strut. They are both made by KYB strut company.

The AGX and GR2 are both made by KYB. The AGXs are adjustable but are overpriced (I sell them so I know). The GR2s are their base model shocks, good as stock replacements but I don't know how well they hold up if the car is lowered. The Gas-A-Just are the mid-level shock which I'm personally using. They've actually held up pretty well being lowered on Eibach Sportline springs. I hope this info helps. If your car is lowered go with Gas-A-Just if they're available to you. They're great quality and decently priced.
