A-body chassis dynamics, handling

As for shocks, I have a set of QA1 Stocker Stars sitting in their boxes that I need to install. I've heard a lot of good things about them. I've heard good things about Konis too, but that they are discontinued. I've heard a few bad things about Edelbrocks, and lots of bad things about KYB.

Are the KYB's that bad for a street car? I was going to get the Gas-adjust all around on my 65 barracuda. I've used their AGX adjustables on a Miata and they seem to make a nice shock.
