Default best shock for a smooth ride?

My camaro is a 1998 SS with 102,000 mile and the shocks suck. They look really old and you can't even see what brand they are! The car drives like a pickup truck with an empty bed. I don't race at the track or anything like that. I just need some info on the best shock for the best ride. Thanks guys!

The best always comes with a price. If it were me, I would go with Koni SA up front and 3rd gen Bilstein HD's in the rear.

Bilstein HD's all around would be an improvement, but not the best.
