Many have used them and like them. I put Monroes (not quick struts, though) on the front my Camry a few thousand miles ago, and on the rear a few years ago. I like 'em. The rears are holding up fine; can't say anything about the fronts because they're still nearly new.
I didn't replace my springs because they weren't showing any signs of needing to be replaced. The rubber seats, top & bottom, were pretty far gone, so it's a good idea to replace them if not going with quick struts.
My original struts were high miler's like yours; when I pulled them they were still holding their gas charge and weren't leaking or anything. But the car still rode decent. It's quite a bit better now, not so "nervous" handling-wise when going over ripply pavement at freeway speeds.
