If my opponent activate rampage and they paid the cost, then when I play rebuttal do I get to choose my friendly unit which gets the +2?
Yes — once you pay [A] and gain control of Rampage, "friendly" is evaluated from your perspective, so the unit that gets the +2 [S] is one of your units.
Rampage reads "Choose a friendly unit and an enemy unit," and those two units are finalization choices (targets), which is exactly what Rebuttal's "make new choices" lets you remake. Since you now control the spell, your friendly unit is the one you choose and a unit your opponent controls is the enemy unit. And because they already paid the [C] when they played the spell, that payment is locked in and not refunded (Rules 425.1.c, 356.2.b), so the "+2 [S] this turn" clause will execute — it doesn't care who controls the spell afterwards.
One caveat: if you remake one choice you must remake them all into legal choices, so you can't leave their original unit sitting in the "friendly" slot while changing only the other side, since that unit isn't friendly to you anymore.
Note the buff is +2 Shield [S], not Might — the mutual damage still uses their printed current Might at resolution.

Mistake on the +2 might - it is not +2 shield -> second time this happened as mistake in 2 seperate questions -> check this behaviour.
