Can anyone lead me to good way to go on replacement shocks- 1996 c280. Just looking for reliability/cost ratios.

If you're looking for an OEM replacement with a little sportier ride without sacrificing ride quality, choose Bilstein- great shocks, but the only downside is that they aren't adjustable like KOni's are

Did you mean the Bilstein "heavy duties", or the regular.

I believe "regular" are for cars that came OEM with Bilstein. There are "sport" models for all cars that did not come stock with Bilsteins, and these are a bit of a better ride than OEM shocks, and aren't even that expensive.
