Shock mount broke, what to replace with?

So I was trying to see if some shocks I had laying around would fit and naturally I broke the mounting stud. So I see bj's sells an extended mount and then I also saw the ford mount mod. I think I came across a dodge dana 60(trying to talk him out of the ford hp 60) so I plan on swapping that in eventually, so I want what will work good with that also.
Any advice?

If you are running 'normal' shocks, then why no just weld it back together?

Because I can get either of the others for almost the same cost, or less.

Planning ahead I guess. My thing is when something breaks I like to upgrade and not just replace. I figure that way eventually the ENTIRE vehicle will be upgraded.
I stopped at the local ford dealer and got the brackets coming, $40, I guess that is the route I am going.

I've considered getting those ford shock towers for other projects, but never have.
They sound like a great upgrade!
