Default which shocks?

Ok my ecsb truck is lowered 2 front with belltech spindles and 4 rear with belltech shackles and hangers. I have the belltech nitro drop 2 shocks now and not happy with the ride, i was looking for a better shock to run that will better the ride and have good weight transfer...or adjustables. So which shock would you run or have had good experience running?
Belltech street performance?
Rancho 9000?
Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable?
or any other?

yea doing some searching on here shows that the street performance have a good ride to them....also would relocating the pass side shock to behind the axle be worth anything?
