Default Shocks for a stock Civic?

I want to get some shocks for a 91 Civic. This car is stock and will
never see track time; it is the quintessential daily driver. The only
time it sees hard work is that it has to drive a dirt road where I have
gone airborne before with my first car. So, no lowering for it. Based
on that, which would be the best shocks for the beast:

KYB GR2
Tokico HP
Bilstein Touring

I second Jim's comments. Hard to go wrong with KYB for commuting.
I had Tokico's in my Integra. I liked them but none of my passengers
did.
YMMV

Bueno, the OEM shocks lasted a long time. Why not price exact replacements,
just for a laugh?
