Shocks replacement, please suggest?

I wonder what shocks will be a good replacement for my '94 B2300 truck. I need something low price but can last for few years. Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for low cost Rough Country's from JC Whitney fit the bill or just your generic shock from any auto parts store. I have the RC and they were cheap and they ride decent, better than what I had but not as good as the expensive brands that everyone suggests on here.

I have really been pleased with my Monroe Reflex shocks.

I finally replaced all 4 shocks with KYB (Shock Absorber GR-2). It is cheap and works great. Feels like a new truck now.

I dont have any lift, but would Ranchos or Skyjackers give me a little pick-up? Like everyone else, my original shocks are blown so I am trying to decide between cheap or expensive replacements
