     Are you looking for just a stock replacement type ?  I like Monroe or KYB for just stock applications.
     If you are looking for a little bit more advanced than stock, you need to do some reading up on shocks to pick what suits you best, you said you have a bunch of bumpy roads, so you should look for one that can be adjusted, a lot of times only the compression can be adjusted, unless a higher end shock is bought.
