Time For New Shocks - HD Bilsteins Or Koni-FSD?

I got a similar suggestion from a knowledgeable OP here: OEM Ford Front Shocks work well. So, when I installed a zero-miles 2012 axle in our 2002, I used the new Ford shocks that came in the crate with Axle, Brakes, Radius Arms and a few other things. I don't know how long they'll last, but we have no complaints about how it handles curves and bumps.

EDIT: We're pretty heavy: 4600 Front, 9350 Rear
