Rnacho RSX vs Rancho 5000 on 03 Fx4

so im gonna replace the stock fx4 shocks here soon and gonna stick with the ranchosi believe. But my question is which would you prefer of the two? I had the 5000's on my old ranger 4x4 and they were OK, but id like a good ride quality this time. I never offroad, so road comfort is what i need. Whats the good and bad of each? Any input would be appreciated.

I would go with Bilstein shocks if you are looking for ride quality. I have the Rancho 5000's on my FX4 and they are pretty stiff.

Any idea about the rsx then? I'm not looking to sink a lot on shocks if possible. But will consider the bilstiens as well. Any idea where to get them cheaper?
