BJ spacers/HD coils - shocks to match

Yesterday I picked up some BJ spacers so I can uncrank my tbars, finally and now I need some new shocks to replace the RS5000s that are on now. In the rear I am running 1.5 Downey HDs w/ RS5000s. Tires are 32x11.5 BFG Muds.

I've read through the cruiser coil/bj spacer thread and a few other threads, seems OME shocks are popular, in your personal experience what is a good combination with this setup, I know lots of you guys are running this, whether it be with OME HD coils or Downey.

Bilstein?
Old Man Emu: i believe these are the right sizes
Rear OME N98s?
Front OME N72F?
Edelbrock IAS?

(trying not to hijack, but ask more pointed version of the same question)

Do people know the valving rates on the OME shocks vs. the others? Or is just the general concensus that they're the best shocks? What kind of ride do they give?
