I put gas struts on my hood a few weeks ago. Went with two, 30# and they are working out real well. (My NAF hood is very stout) NAPA had a selection of mounting brackets that also worked out fine. One thing we ran into was to make sure the strut is not totally verticle, when extended. They must be slightly at an angle towards the direction you want them to pivot down to.
