1997 Honda Civic EX Shocks - Time for replacement?

Greetings all,

While taking my (actually my late wife's) 1997 Honda Civic EX coupe to
the gym last night, I noticed that it wasn't riding as good as it used
to. Besides the factor of crappy Louisiana Roads, I am starting to
think that it may be time to replace the shocks based on age alone, even
though the car only has approximately 74k on the odometer.

I just wanted to get the general consensus as to if age, 11 to 12 years,
warrants replacement of the shocks?

One more question, are those higher priced setups, such as Eibach,
Bilstein, and Koni worth the additional $$?

Thanks,

Chris
