You didn't mention what you were planning to install. Assuming you are going relatively stock, the Nissan front struts are pretty good and are essentially KYB G2/Excel units, which you can pick up at Rockauto.com, among other places; they have a lifetime warranty. IIRC, the hardware that comes with them is a bit "off" and you are better off sticking with the original equipment. You could also get a Monroe Quick-strut, which comes assembled with springs and makes for an easy swap.
For the rear, it's best to hit the aftermarket and get a good, monotube shock absorber. Most go with Bilstein HD's, but Monroe Reflex gets good reviews, as well. I would imagine KYB Gas-a-justs would work well, too, but by far, the Bilsteins are the most popular.
If you haven't done it already, $75 for a set of Airlift 1000 air bags for the rear is a great investment. It keeps the back end from bottoming out over bumps and if you tow, it'll keep the ass end from sagging.
