Some people have a problem with K-Tech as they won't do something or try to sell you something unless they think it's the right thing for you, with the stock rear shock the "problem" is, rightly or wrongly K-Tech don't think the damping can cope with it and thus wont fit an uprated spring.
They'll also try and talk you away from buying a fancy shock unless you're properly quick.

Depends what you want really, in my experience, Maxton will do what you ask and take your money, K-Tech will ask what you're doing and advise on that based on their knowledge.

Fontyyy, how have you found your MC28 rebuilt shock to perform on the track? It'll be pushed much harder there than on the road.

I'm not sure I agree with Reactive suspension's dim view of the NSR shock. Its no more 'uncompliant' than other bikes I've had (many) and better than a lot. A rebuild and the correct spring to suit, on average, a heavier load than a Jap rider should give half decent results. For most guys on this forum riding their NSR's on the road, we'll generally reach the limits of personal ability (or the ditch) before the suspension gives up. Some of the Race Suspension shops must be forming their views based on 10/10ths track application, where every little difference in set-up counts.
