Shopping for rear shocks

I noticed on the O'reilly website that there is a listing for comfort series and a heavy duty series, Bilstein shocks. The heavy duty is 3X the price of the comfort series.
Should I be getting the comfort series or heavy duty?
Another website lists a touring class and a sachs.

If I'm not mistaken, the heavy duty is geared towards performance whereas the comfort is closer to the stock feel. Sachs are the OEM style.

So, would you say that Sachs are the same as Comfort?

Most likely. I bought KYB front struts from rockauto.com and they feel great.
