Suspension/Brake DYI

My '01 9-5 just topped 100k miles, and has developed a telltale "creak" in the right rear on bumps, etc. Am planning a couple of vacation days in the next week, and will venture in to the world of strut/shock replacement (and will probably do rotors & pads while I'm under there.
Several questions; how can I get DYI directions for strut/shock/brake replacement, should I use OEM parts or are there better options, and what else might I consider replacing while the car's apart?
The car is my wife's daily driver, so I'm not looking for racing suspension -- just want to get it back to the way it was, especially with another Wisconsin winter just around the corner.
This board has been extremely helpful over the 3 years I've owned the car (and have since added an '03 9-3 vert). Just became a member, and I'm excited about my first "major" DYI project.
As always -- help/advice/input are all welcome!!
Regards,
Joe
