Tamiya Flourine coated shocks are good, but the Team Associated Factory Team aluminum threaded shocks will work fine too. For racing I wouldn't go with Integy or Hot Racing, but they are threaded, they are aluminum, and they are on the budget side.

That's really up to you, threaded shocks don't make them dampen any better than a stock one does, but threaded ones are a lot easier to make ride height adjustments with. But in general, you will get the same handling either way(plus, with those AE shocks you have, it is possible to just buy threaded shock bodies instead of complete shocks, just replace the bodies when you rebuild them, which should be done on a regular basis anyway)....
