Assuming you are running on used tires, I'd wait til you can afford at least all 4 struts before proceeding. This is because the new components will amplify the issues with the other axle and probably accelerate tire wear on both axles. Also, with a purely street driven car, go with HDs, not Sports or a mix... this is subjective, but you'll most likely find the Sports too harsh, while the HDs will be a very acceptable improvement.
As mentioned, also consider replacing the control arms and bushings at the same time. It's just as much labor, so you don't want to pay for the same real estate twice.
Other things to consider 'while you're at it' would be rotors, and especially the CV Boots.
No easy, or budget answer here.
Cheers!
