Picking up a used 2008 Mazda3 and we think the rear and front shocks/struts are bad. Is it worth going to the more expensive "sport" suspension components, or just stick with OEM? We also think the stock strut mounts are shot, (Which is a common fail point?) so will be replacing those as well. It will be the first time having a Mazda so any insight would be great.

Its my first car and a daily driver, im not looking to spend a fortune and would like an easy install, is there any certain brands i should look at for cheap improvement or is it not worth the hassle and should i just go to oem

If its just a daily driver and nothing more just go to your local NAPA or what ever and get OEM replacements. Make sure you get the entire assembly, spring and all, for the front struts. That will make it far faster and easier to do.
