I have Edelbrock AIS all around. I'm pretty happy with the ride. They're about $70 each.

KYB Gas-A-Justs. Have had good experience with them. Like $30 a pop for those.

Just put on KYB Gas Adjust shocks yesterday. They seem to be real good. Also put new springs on the rear (71SS). This made the car sit a couple of inches higher in the rear (which was needed.) Car has a much firmer ride. Bought shocks and springs from Year One.

It seems you are going with quality parts so I suggest you consider Koni adjustable shocks. Great shock that should last 100K miles and adjustable too.
