It might help if you tell us what the car is/will be used for. For example, if you autocross or visit a track frequently, then Koni is the way to go; but if you just want a good handling street car then KYB or bilstein would be the way to go. However, if your car is lowered I wouldn't recommend KYB. I've heard they wear out fast.

I plan on getting KONI Yellow's come Spring.
