I'm sure there have been plenty of these, but...
Proto SCS
Pros:
-easy installation
-not too heavy
-everything stays tight for a long time
-easy to tighten when needed
-includes shim, starnut, and all bolts
Cons:
-compression cap bends, use the one that comes with your headset
Overall: Best compression I've had by far. Not sure why people say they're heavy, the increase in weight was barely noticable.

Blunt Strippers:
Pro's: They are very light, and look good
Cons: they flex, are sketchy, and are weak
in other words, dont get them

Magray v2 brake
+ Strong - I snap brakes all the time, but had this since January an still going strong
+ Light - I can feel a significant difference from my old fakey brake
+ Reactive - Very sharp when you need it to be, but also good for manuals
+ Looks good - A plain black brake with a simple logo
- Undialled - Takes a lot of work to keep it good, and doesn't really fit my deck (it was designed for the v2, mine it the v1)
- Flexible - I've bent mine from catching it in double whips

My reviews:
2011 mgp pro complete
+ mine was $100 US
+ concave is amazing
+ bars feel nice/nice width
+ buff as hell
+ feels really nice stock
+ grinds fast compared to my ultra pro
Cons
- kinda heavy/takes awhile to get used
-headset SUCKS you have to ride it loose or it won't spin
-wheels are kinda week, they were showing stress marks after 2 hours at the skatepark
-bars don't tighten very well onto fork
-the cross bar is hard to center
-cross bar will bend if you throw your scooter
Verdict: get if you plan on upgrading the headset and wheels right away, or if you need a beginner scooter on a budget... (look at ultra pro first)
DSA dominator
+lasts forever
+great first threadless fork
+ well worth $50 US
-mine had some of the steerer tube sanded off so it would never dial correctly without a shim
-kinda heavy
Verdict: great first aftermarket fork if you don't mind the weight, they last forever
VERTX metal cores
+ cheap
+ feel great
+ last forever
+\- hard
+/-bearings fit tightly
Verdict: get these wheels if you ride street!
Proto baby scs
+ light
+ strong
+ make your bars stronger cuz you don't need a slit
+ great compression system
+ looks cool
- you have to cut your fork
- strips easily without proper care
- compression cap bends/warps a lil
- can't fit oversized bars like full sized scs
Verdict: get this, its worth it if you can cut your fork

District V2-I Review
Pros:
*Very lightweight, but still very strong.
*The price of this deck is hard to beat. Much cheaper then most other scooter decks on the market.
*Flat edges make finger whips a breeze.
*Flat bottom makes grinding and stalls so much easier.
*Integrated head tube makes installation faster and much easier. Much smoother than conventional headsets.
*Comes in a 4 different colors-black, green, purple, and white. Also, there is two pro model versions-Rory Coe Sig and BenJ Friant Sig
*Includes the back axel, 2 bearing spacers, and the district brake system.
Cons:
*Not a huge deal but the stickers do come off easily.
*The brake starts to wobble quite a bit after you wear it in so you might need to put a piece of bike tube underneath the brake.
Overall, this is an awesome deck. I switched from an MGP to this deck and I like it a lot more. It's so much lighter and learning new tricks is so much easier. To anyone who is looking to buy a new deck, I would definitely consider this one.

This is a review for JUST the deck. Maddgear nitro 2010 deck.
I have had mine for almost a year now, and it is just recently showing signs of breaking, which is pretty amazing since I'm a bigger rider, weighing around 200. Even though I'm mostley a tech rider doing alot of grind and manual combos, I have had a good session on a big 8, and I've thrown a few tricks down a 10 and 11 stair, and ride the 7 set at my local park daily. I got this deck about a year ago from a friend who had it for a few weeks but didn't feel like riding, when I got it, I completley sand blasted it and painted it gold, I think sandplasting the anodized paint may have made it a little weaker but it still rides strong! My friend recently got a new welder so I'm getting aluminum wire and gas for it, and we are going to make this deck as strong as, if not stronger than new!
MADD GEAR SCOOTERS FOR LIFE!

Maddgear batwings feel really good, but there really not that strong, I broke two pairs of them in a week, I'm sticking with Rad bars!
