I was going to get the ProComp ES3000s until I heard compelling evidence that they are a rebadged Rancho 5000 which are too stiff for a Rodeo IMO; i.e. a shock that works well on a heavy vehicle or under a heavy payload to be smooth. Once again I'll give kudos to the Skyjacker Hydros. Matt at indy4x personally recommended these over the ProComp ES3000s for my situation, and my goals sound 99% like the original poster's. Can't see these shocks disappointing.... they reduced brake dive, cornering is much more stable, and I'm not dodging stupid little potholes anymore cause they just soak em right up.
