I kept the EFS front springs......in fact the only reason i got OME front shocks was they were the only ones available at this time............personally I think ARB are a bunch of stuck up arrogant pricks (just my personal opinion).
EFS gives you a 100 000 km/3 year warranty (ARB 40k/2year).....both source there front springs from King springs......ARB would have you believe that there's is some how better.......I did ring Kings and they didn't mention there was any difference (they make 3 standard 10mm lift, mid duty 40mm,heavey duty 40mm).....the man from Kings did say he would custom build a set of springs to your requirements..........the final height will be dictated by the amount of weight on the front....diesel steel block/ V6 alloy block....steel bull bar etc....
The man from EFS said they source there front shocks from the same place as OME.......but I dont know if there is any difference.....obviously ARB think theres is far superior.....must be the paint.lol.
The only issue i had with EFS rear leafs were that the front military wrap rubbed (creaked) on the chassis at the front mount on one side.......Tommo had the same problem with Dobinsons......he just cut some off .....i just spray some lube now and again.....but EFS rear shocks work great .......do get extra travel and had to extend the brake hose's to suit.
The main thing is to get the height ,load capacity and ride that you want.

Enjoy Fraser island mate and take a swim in one of the creek's and good luck with your fishing. Are you camping on Fraser? you lucky bugger, post some pics of the Navara on the beach. Im sure you'll notice an improvement offroad in the ride. It's quite a surprise how much of a difference better damped shocks give compared to stock.
