Bilstein are pricey but are pretty much top of the line for passenger vehicles.
I recently changed the fronts to Bilstein. My right front wasn't even connected at the top anymore and was totally compressed! The nut was simply gone, it wasn't a broken stud. I didn't know it was and I don't know how long it was that way. I don't think it was last year when I did front pads though.
I put new Monroe Magnum RV on the rear last summer because that's all I could afford and it needed them desperately. It had the original USA made Motorcraft ones from 1985. If I had the money, I would have put Bilstein back there too.
The Monroe in the middle was on the left front side. Right one was on the right.
