888 are generally pretty low maintanence (04-07) although they are heavier than the rest.
Provided that the bushes are ok, all they usually need is an oil change periodically....which is easy to do

Do you have to have triples for your project? Or could you do with some long travel singles, as the lower end rockshox stuff (domains) are pretty good too. Just get the firm or xfirm spring and again all that's needed is an oil change( although more frequent than 888's)
