Shocks and struts

I have a 2K Maxima with 82K miles. The front right strut is pretty much blown so I'll be getting a new pair soon. I gotta cut back on the off-roading. Any suggestions which brand/model to get? I'm not looking for anything sporty or outrageous...something similar or a little better than OEM. How are the Monroe struts?

Cool cool. I called the tire store where i got my Dunlops from (Discount Tire Center). It offers the Monroe Sensa Trac for the Max. $630 for all 4 and install. Is there anything wrong with getting Monroe's? The reason why I'm considering this is because the store offers a lifetime warranty for defects and workmanship.

Seems a bit high to me... you can get Tokico Illuminas installed, parts and labor, for that much...
