Which Shock?

Well im lookin at 2 main shocks right now. Either the rancho RS9000 adjustable shocks, or the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. Most have told me to get the bilsteins, but i just want to see what you all think. I'm open to any suggestion under 100 bucks a shock. If selected other, let me know why and which shock you would prefer for under 100. Trent got me pretty hooked on those bilsteins.

RS9000

so it looks like most like bilstein, ill probably end up getting those. and for springs, if anyone read this, think i should get rancho AAL's over procomp or fabtech? I heard theyll give me more lift and theyre nicer
