If it is just a daily driver get a set of Monroes, no need to get anything fancy.

Since you're taking the struts and shocks out you should do new strut mounts and shock mounts at the same time. You should probably also get new bolts for all those, check realoem.com for the part numbers and good diagrams of how everything goes together.

As long as the springs aren't broken just reuse them and your spring pads.

You'll need spring compressors to swap springs between the struts, they can be rented from most auto parts stores.
