Gas or hydro shock?

Couldn't find much about this with our trucks. I have the 6.2 and looking for a better ride. I know gas are better for off-roading which I don't do. II will occasionally pull a compact tractor and may get a camper one day so I'd say the most my truck will probably see is 8k lbs. I also plan on doing dual stabilizers to help out on the rough SW Louisiana roads. What are y'alls thoughts?

I doubt fox or any other aftermarket shock will make the ride smoother then stock will.
