Default What else to replace when doing shocks?

I'm going to be replacing my front struts with Koni Yellows. I'm a little unfamiliar with everything needed with this. After doing some research on the forums I saw that I should probably replace with the:

End links (Moog?)
Strut Mount (with this?)
Strut Bearing (with this?)
Bump Stop (OEM?)

I'll continue to do more research but does that sound correct? Should I replace anything else? Any recommendations for what to replace them with?

Thank you!
