suggestions on a replacement rear shock

I have a 2002 or 03 Giant AC air. I started to make it kinda beefer last year. I put on a Pike 454 since the Man Black died on me. I also built a better wheelset with Hope hubs since the Pike had a 20mm axle.

Now I would like to get rid of the SID XC that it came with. I feel it's only matter of time before the SID gets got considering what I can ride off of now.

Suggestions please

those frames aren't that strong, many broke. I would wait to get a new shock, think about a newer stronger frame. I believe the chain stays cracked a lot. frame is old on top of that.
 
Thanks for letting me know about my frame. I wondering why I never see them any more(I see alot of old stuff on the trails around here).

What's the best way to find a frame that will fit my old components? I was thinking about a Knolly Endorphin frame and building it up. I like the Delrium but I wonder how it peddles?
