Bad strut, need to replace.

Found out I have a bad rear strut, so I need to replace them all with an adjustable aftermarket, what's a good brand that's not going to rape me on price (and where can I get them the cheapest)? I have an '86 GXL (With AAS, although I know it'll be gone when I replace the struts).

I don't have time to save up, it's riding as a solid shaft, no give at all so it's like the wheel is connected to the body via a steel pole..

It all depends on what YOU want. Is this a street car, track car, or both?

GAB Super R's - awesome for track, way too stiff for everyday use
Koni Yellows - very good for auto-x/solo I, soft enough for street use
Bilstein's - good all-around performer, a little expensive

I've had the GAB's and the Koni Yellows. I like them both, leaning towards the Koni Yellows. Koni Reds are only available in coilovers, which will probably push you out of budget. Koni Yellows were $435 for the set at www.shox.com; that was 6 months ago. And shox.com is offering free shipping on all Koni's within the continental US and Canada.
