Blisten HD or Blisten SLP?
I've pretty much decided that the blisten HDs fit my req's and price range, but I just noticed these blisten 'SLP valved' shocks when I was about to order them........are these any good vs. the std. f-body blisten HDs?

Priority 1 - Daily Driver(better ride in all aspects than 110k mi stockers)
Priority 2 - Firm/better handling than stock
?

Assuming you still have stock springs, the HDs would be the better choice. The SLP shocks are designed to work with the SLP specific SS (Eibach-but not pro kit) springs.
Might be a bit firmer ride, but certainly better handling.

I don't mean to steal the thread, but would the SLP Bilsteins work alright with my BMR 1" lowering springs since they are made for the Eibach SLP springs? I think the the Eibach SLP springs lower the car an inch.

For the ultimate compromise in a dual-purpose shock that's not adjustable, SLP's shocks are it.
The SLP version isn't as aggressive as the standard Bilsteins and will provide you with a better ride.

What is it that you're not sure of here?
The SLP bilstein units are designed specifically for the SLP Eibach springs, which do indeed lower the car a little bit when compared to stock springs.
The bilstein HD shocks are designed for stock springs, not lowering springs.
