My experience with shocks on SUV's and Vans and Light Trucks has been do not go with off brand or general purpose brands (Monroe, Gabriel, or any twin tube variety)
Cars aren't quite as demanding with lower center of gravity.
You mentioned Bilstein at 50% cheaper , I would look into those.
Or KYB Gas-Adjust
OEM Motorcraft or Rancho would be top candidates too
RockAuto gets about 90-95 % of my business.
Have used PartsGeek a time or two when price was all that mattered.
I think they use a lot of 3rd party sellers and lower grade products (price battles)
