Default Rear shock replacement advice

So, I replaced my front shocks on the Blazer a couple of weeks ago with some basic Monroe Gas-Matic Truck shock absorbers. Now, I'm looking into replacing the rear shocks but with a better set of shocks. I don't have a lot to spend on them (looking at purchasing a fuel pump - soon) but I don't want to go too cheap again (heck, anything is probably better than originals with 171k on them).

Suggestions?

I saw these but I don't anything about the company which makes them.

A pair of Monroe Reflex Monotube for $100.
I don't think you're going to be happy with what you put on the front.

No, I'm not happy with the front shocks but it's a lot better than what was on the vehicle when I bought it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
