Ive never heard a bad report about them yet.
I saw some nice AC Schitzner ones for sale on ebay a month ago before I bought my car and I really regret not buying them.

As for the effect - they have a slightly different effect from roll bars.
They keep the suspension geometry in the correct position when cornering hard therefore improving the grip and steering.

Anti roll bars just help keep the car more level when cornering.

basically an strut brace helps stop the shell from flexing.
this allows the suspension to do its job in the fashion it was designed too
