Default Choice of Front Struts

Hey guys, so my front struts are pretty much worn out. The previous owner had installed these green Neuspeed springs all around on the Civic and reused the OEM struts. I was wondering by brand of struts some of you are running on your rides. I was thinking of going with some Bilsteins, but im pretty much open to other suggestions that are a bit less costly for now. Any suggestions?

I thought about buying a pair from Autozone but I was thinking maybe they would not absorb properly and wear prematurely since the a regular strut is not designed be compress constantly at a low level.

OEM struts will handle a 1.25 inch drop fine from the Neuspeeds

Look at a good perfomance shock, I would not use stock struts.
