Default Shocks for a Daily Driver

Our shocks are the stock shocks that came with the car, and it has 122k miles on it now. We can tell they're shot. We've been searching for forums for what a good replacement should be, and we've been seeing the Blisten HDs reccomended for a stock spring setup....but at $400, we're very reluctant. We've found the KYB Gas-A-Just for $19.99 locally, and was wondering if, for a daily driver, only, would the KYBs be OK with a stock spring setup? We don't auto-x or drag this car, we're about to purchase a second T/A with lower miles to play with, but the higher mileage T/A is going to be our DD only, so will the KYBs fill that roll for us, or are they just crap?
