Recommended Rear Shocks?

I need to replace my rear struts/shocks. I don't offroad at all but I want something that is going to last. What do you guys recommend?

I am satisfied with the performance of my Rancho RS5000s.

I got a set of Monroe's through rockauto.com......after buying all four, I saved a bunch of money over going through the local O'Reilly's!! They were the heavy duty shocks.

I've been using Gabriel Hyjacker air shocks for years on Burt with an in the cab controller. It's nice because I can adjust them stiffer based on the load I'm carrying or softer when rolling empty. I've never had a problem with them.

Called and they had a Monroe Gas Mag at $24 a piece. These work?
