Options for rear shocks?

I'm in need of new rear shocks for my 82 TA. It has bigger sway bars, ebaich pro kit, and poly bushings in the sway bars. The car is a daily driver year round. Summit appears to have a few options, and I bookmarked this.

I have lots of options, but don't know the pros and cons of each.

What is everyone using?

I just installed the tokico illunminas onto my auto-x only car (still drive it on the street) And I love them! Car rides great on the highway too! With 925lb front springs, I have front strut on 3 and rear shock on 3. They will go to 5, and yesterday at autocross, car did great!! Tires sucked, but I will fix that next.

I have used the KYB Gas Adjust's and my Red Koni's as well. In all honestly I like them both. only reason i got the Red's were because they were on the scratch and dent at Summit.
