Default Adjustable or Nonadjustable Shocks

I have a daily drive 95 GT. I want to "beef" up the suspension with some Shocks and Struts. I rarely take my car to the track so will I need adjustable or will nonadjustable do just fine? How do adjustable compare to nonadjustable when it comes to performance?

Thanks for the advice. But, why may I need then down the road? Why may I need the adjustables vs. the non?

if your mustang is lowered or you may think of lowering
the adjustables will help in that regard, just to kind
of fine tune the car to the road conditions
