Either shock I mentioned above will provide a firmer but consistent ride. The Rancho's are adjustable so you could dial in the settings you prefer for the best ride.
Researching this myself, Bilstein 5100s are not recommended for stock height trucks. They are better for lifted trucks. The Heavy Duty Bilstiens are recommended for stock rigs. The internals are the same so Bilstein says, but 5100s look nicer in chrome. I was told 5100s are a waste of money unless I am lifted.
