Find some factory take offs and put some 2" extentions on them. Once you map out your build (which generally takes some time and changes often with experience) you should know what you need for your driving style.
Just dumping a grand into shocks typically is a poor move.

So if you were in my position and wanted to get a shock because mine are gone and want something that will be smooth and still do well on the trails and will last long enough for me to make my next big shock jump later down the road, what would you do?
...what would I do?...

replace your Rough Country lift first...

Actually if I were to start over again with a clean slate I would not even run shocks. Or coils for that matter.

Coilovers or ORI struts from the start.

If I were to start over from scratch I would run ORI struts. And to answer you original question between the king and fox shocks there should not even be a choice to make. One shock is a clear stand out over the other. But personally I would chose neither, there are better options out there.
