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.)
