I personally like the KYB shocks. they are fairly inexpensive and
have a nice firm ride. Some people say they are too firm (I'm sure
some will chime in) but I guess that it's a matter of taste. The
Bilstein shocks are really nice (I have a set on my 98) but they are
a quite spendy and IMHO an overkill on a first gen unless you are
setting it up for autocross or road racing and are also spending lots
of bucks on tubular control arms and such.
As far as the sleeves, it sounds like they are probably rusted in.
Use some good penetrating oil (I use Kroil but I don't think you can
find it at a retail outlet) and let it cook for 24 hours and see if
they will loosen up. if not, maybe some light tapping on the sleeve
to see if it lets up.

I have a leaking shocks, I need to replace them. So I am looking
around for another set. I would be interest in different peoples
opinion of theshocks they run on there car. Also I am setting the
aliagnment on my car.. I set the caster and camber, -3/4 degree
camber and 2 degrees caster. My toe is way out so I went to set it
and couldn't turn the adjusters. So how do I get them unstuck and
what tool do I use to turn the adjusting sleeves? Thanks Landis 67
