Hmm, price has come down on the Elkas, I may go that route. Anyway , I'm ordering new shocks this week, I'll let y'all know my final decision tomorrow or Friday. Feel free to add more input though.

My vote is for FOX 
In Baja style off-road racing (Buggies and Trucks), you will see FOX and KING as the preferred shocks. I have never seen Elkas nor have I ever heard of them being used in applications larger than a quad.
Best of luck with your decision

I run the Elka's, I got them last summer before TeraFlex had worked out the setup with Fox. I actually love the Elka's on the highway, very little body roll. On the trail they do great as well. At least with my off road skills. I was talking to the guys from TeraFlex a month ago about the differences between the two. From the guys I spoke to there, the Elka's handle a bit better on the highway, and the Fox's do a bit better on the trail and a touch stiffer on the highway. Both are great just some minor differences in both extremes, highway vs. trail.

Its funny you asked this question Im in the same situation...I talk to David today at Northridge and the fox shocks are on a 45+? day backorder with no sight of stock levels coming in soon. He also mentioned that he thinks the Elkas are better shocks anyway and they just dropped the price to 999 for all 4.

Well damn, thought it made it easier that the Fox's weren't in. 
Now, back in the same boat. Either way, its a good bit of coin to drop on shocks. Honestly, I've never had this hard of a descision on anything I've bought so far.

We decided on and just installed the Teraflex tuned Fox shocks for both of our JK's running 6" Elite LCG's. Our first long drive and wheeling trip will be this upcoming weekend.... cant wait to see how everything performs.
