I am looking into the same shocks right now as well.
The RS9000Xs are nice, but they are a little on the stiff side for medium compression. They also aren't monotubes.
The Bilsteins are nice, but my experience with these on other vehicles is they are a little on the soft side. Could be wrong though.
The Edelbrocks look to be the best design I've seen. Monotube and the "intertia valve" looks to be pretty cool and allows them to get away with stiffer tuning without killing you on bumps. The trucks I have ridden in with them seem to ride really well without the bumpiness of the Rancho or the slightly loose feeling of the Bilsteins (once again, on other applications).
They aren't adjustable, but they look pretty cool. They're $75 each from Summitracing.com
