My new 95 CSE - a sad tale - insurance question

I bought a nice 1995 CSE a week ago last Saturday. I was looking to move up from my 88 9000T with 156k and this fit the bill nicely (by the way - thanks to Ari and Aaron on my alternator question regarding the 88 - I replaced the regulator and it seems fine now).
Anyway, 4 days later my new CSE was involved in an accident (my fault - a stupid mistake) and it is now in the body shop awaiting repair (total bill $5,500 - I only paid $5,700 for the car so I'm happy the insurance co didn't total it).
My real question, however, is that the driver's side front strut is damaged and will be replaced. Should I get the passenger side one replaced at the same time? Should I request a particular brand/model? The insurance company has me paying $108 towards the strut at 50% depreciation - implying a cost of $216 for one strut - that seems high to me!
Any help would be appreciated - in 15 years of driving, this is (fortunately) my first time dealing with an insurance company other than just paying premiums once a year!
