What concerns me with our rig, the front end goes up and down a lot, for the slightest of reasons. I want to eliminate as much front end up/down motion as possible. It sounds like the HD Bilsteins will cancel that motion the fastest.
Ron, as I have posted before I too have an E-350 {that I love}. Trust me, just buy the HD Bilstein's and be done with this discussion. The performance improvement in ride and handling will blow your mind {and at a reasonable price though the fronts are a PITA to install}.
Most rigs should NOT need anything but the right shocks {that would be HD Bilstein's}, proper tire pressure and maybe an alignment with a tad mnore caster. The rest of the magical after market garbage is just that... expensive and unneeded.
As always... Opinions and YMMV.

Think you would be whistling another tune IF you had a 30 ft E450 with the weight right at or maxed out !
The E150 E250 E350 and E450 comes with the same puny undersized front Anti Sway Bar. Same IF it came with a rear Anti Sway Bar.
It may work for the E150 delivery van running around town.
Now stretch the frame put on a long hugh top heavy square box loaded with """"".
And now its a whole new animal... lol
Truth be told I honestly wish I could have found a 26Q No slides with the rear bead that sits across the rear and is open on one side.
With my lower back being fused, I cannot slide in and out of a corner bed.
We are not full timers nor camping every weekend in ours so I feel a 26ft or less is the perfect size.
When we were first started looking ,,, your model the 23P fit that bill perfect except for the bed.
So yes those added /upgraded aftermarket parts do help.
