I am on the lookout for some quality aftermarket shocks and struts. I don't want to do quick struts as I have heard bad things.
Good aftermarket shocks and struts?

You've heard bad things because they're so popular. You're always going to hear bad things when things are sold in volume.
The best are usually OEM. But they're expensive which is why there's the aftermarket.
Quick struts are safer too, don't have to take the spring apart which can be dangerous if it lets go. I'd also replace the springs too because if the struts are worn out, the springs are probably worn out too.

What quick struts would you suggest

Rock Auto sells Mopar struts and shocks, price isn't too bad. That's what I'd use.
Bilstein's, if available for your application, have been decent in a couple of past cars. I also had a set of Koni sport yellows that were very good.
If you're not using quick struts, get Bilstein 4600
If you do consider them, the only name-brand quick struts made for your car are Monroe, so they would be the best quick struts to get
Too bad Mopar doesn't offer OEM quick struts (Ford and Honda have started offering complete assemblies from the dealer)

Those things can be teeth jarring.........
KONI Sport (yellow). The KONI Sport dampers are designed for aggressive driving or cars with suspension upgrades while continuing to offer comfort. If a KONI Sport is listed as an alternative to the KONI Special, choose Sport for aggressive handling characteristics. (i.e. "stiff")

H&R are excellent.
Also look at Eibach, Bilstein, Koni, Leda, Gaz and Penske.

Aren't yellows adjustable? Been a while, but I had red's, and they could be adjusted. But. They could only be adjusted off the car! while yellows could be adjusted on the car. I guess that is how they make money... Anyhow, when I had Koni Red's, when set to near full stiff, they were stiff. They eventually went bad and the shop went against my (not well communicated) wishes and put them in near full soft. I couldn't tell the difference between soft and dead.
YMMV.
