Default Suspension upgrades

Ok ok ok, here it goes. I originally changed my blown out AC Delcos to Rancho RS5000's. They suck. There is way too much play/bounce in the front end. I thought origanally the shocks I got were just bad so I took them back and the new ones did the same thing. So, I'm going to replace the whole front end (upper and lower control arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints, and tie rod ends with a polygraphite performance front end kit). I'm also going to replace the shocks all the way around. My question is should i go with the Bilstein's I found or is there something else anybody would recommend.

Bilsteins are what came on later model Blazers and I like the control they give to the truck. They're stiff, but not outlandishly so, and control body roll quite well.
