I am pretty much looking for the asics equivalent of the brooks axiom, and the Gel DS trainers looked like they were pretty similar. Has anyone tried both of these shoes, or has someone has tried the axioms and some other asics shoe that they thought was similar?

DS trainers are going to be lighter, more flexible, lower to the ground, and less cushioned.
Basically, the DS trainer is a step closer to a flat than the Axiom. If you are familiar with the Racer ST series, the DS trainer is slightly bulkier than them.
Ok, is there a shoe that is maybe closer to the cushion of the axiom then? I would probably just go with the DS trainer if I wasn't doing 70 mpw, but I just don't want to go with less cushion.
I run 100 mpw on rotating pair of DS trainers. You'd be surprise how healthy it shoes similar to flats can keep you.
Ok cool, maybe I'll give them a shot then. I am a huge fan of lighterweight shoes and just wasn't sure if they would last very long.
