Bilstein or Edelbrock would be MUCH better choices than any of the ones you mentioned (ProComp MX-6 might not be bad, but I haven't tried those. The es3000/9000, etc. suck). Monroe Reflex also work pretty well and are fairly inexpensive.
The cranked t-bars will tend to worsen your ride overall though because of the lost down-travel. That's where ball joint spacers come in. They give you the same lift w/o sacrificing travel.

I have Rancho 5000's all the way around. Not as stiff as my Pro Comps on my big truck, but good for general wheeling. I also have the coil spring mod in the back, so without any weight in the back it bucks a little.

I have the Bilsteins on mine and like them. I had RS5000s on a previous truck and they were okay as well. They rode softer, but had less control. After 50,000 miles, the Bilsteins still feel like new.

I have rancho 5000s, fairly new, no t-bar crank and the ride is pretty rough. Feels like those things belong on a baja truck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
