The general consensus around here seems to be C6Z06 shocks.

Direct fit and usually less expensive than their C5Z06 version.

The c6z shocks mentioned above from Cultrag are a good choice.

I just swapped z06 leaf springs into my base C5, and I went with DRM valved Bilsteins. I've only driven it about 100 miles so far, but based on that I am pleased with them. They ride very nice. so that's one more option for you.

I like Bilstein Sport Shocks. If you want a more compliant shock, check out the Heavy Dutys.
I use Bilsteins on every vehicle I own.
