Best struts for 5KSq?

Now that it's warm enough to do car work, I've been eyeing my struts.
They've all seen better days, and all of those better days had come and
gone by the time the car ended up in my hands.

I'd like something reasonably cheap and long-lasting; I wouldn't mind a
somewhat stiffer ride, though the struts it currently has (which I believe
are OE) seem to do an OK balance of being a big sedan on rough Michigan
roads, and not leaning *too* hard into hasty corners.

Any suggestions are appreciated, along with reputable vendors from which I
could acquire such parts.  In addition, are there any parts front or rear
that I should replace while I'm at it, or parts (bushings, etc.) I can
more readily check for trouble at the same time?

Thanks,
