Default Shocks

I have a 2001 Blazer 4wd 2-Door and want to replace all the shocks. Its a daily winter driver, minimal off-road with all our potholes.
I have read through many posts and saw what other people have purchased. We only have a few parts places here in PEI, Canada and heres what I can find:
Buzzels - $55ft, $53rear AC Delco
Cdn Tire - $88ft, $90rear Monroe Sensatrac
Napa - $52ft, $49rear Monroematic
Carquest - $35ft, $35rear KYB

Which ones do you think I should get OR do you know an online Canadian parts seller with interesting shocks ?

I liked the mix (reflex - front & sensatrack with load assist - rear), but that was primarily due to the fact that I had a lot of tools I was carrying around in the back of my old Bravada and didn't like how much it sagged because of the added weight.

But yeah, there are a lot of threads discussing this.

The Rancho RS5000 shocks from advanced auto parts drive real good. I used to have them on my blazer before it was lifted. They also have the lower grade ones that are the RSX model and my buddy has them and he has no complaints
