Front Shocks ???????

There seems to a very large selection of front shocks available for a 68 Cuda, ranging from $15.00each all the way up to $200.00each. The way I look at it, my car I guess would fall into the category of street/strip, since I have no intentions on racing the car then there is no point to put expensive drag shocks on it. I figure why not just put a set of gas charged Monroe 32022 for $16.52 each on it, any thoughts or input from you guys would be great.
