I'd just stand as much as possible personally.

But maybe a Thudbuster would help and you may not mind it for the rest of the route if you have a smooth pedal stroke.

I imagine an ass-end suspension would work best. Standing for some portion of the rough stretch should answer that question though. If standing through it is OK, then you'll need suspension in the rear more than in the front.
