Which shocks to use:
Any reputable brand including those supplied by Holden

Difficulty?
Depends on your level of confidence, competence and patience. Changeover is achievable by anyone with basic mechanical skills.

Bushes with new shocks?
Yes

Tips and tricks.
A reliable Jack, a pair of good quality Jack Stands, basic tool set (sockets, ring spanners etc)

Have a good read of the accompanying PDF (How to do) before commencing job.
