JL subs have one flaw they can't handle dirty signals very well for long periods, so a good clean signal amp is essencial...

they are both very very good amps. I am bias tho and would say to get JL Audio as i have a boot full of it 
The subs are FAB, i have only blown 1 JL in all the time i have had mine  (about a year and a bit now)
They do drop wickedly (if run correctly, like our big man trotty)
So yeah GO GO JL

Its no competition... JL by far. I can't believe you could even consider DLS. That said, I would also look into Audison as well. My next amp will either be Audison or JL.
