New Shocks-OEM vs KYB GR-2 vs Gabriel Ultra

Time for new front shocks. Suspension is totally stock-not lowered and will not be lowered. I want to pretty much keep the original ride quality of the car. Don't want to spend the coin for Koni Yellows, Bilsteins, etc.

Choices:
Acura OEM from AcuraAutomotiveParts.com for $183.00
KYB GR-2 from Tire Rack for $130.00
Gabriel Ultras from AutoZone for $105.00

Also, what other parts should I get like mounts and bumpers, etc.

Any comments, experiences, reviews, etc.
Thanks
