I dont have a convertible(but i lust after one, that count?)
I've also run all the cheaper shock/strut versions.
I would say eat the $$ and go with Bilsteins(love them on my done up formula, lowered, poly, etc) or the Tokicko or Koni.

FWIW, after doing a lot of reading I just ordered a set of KONI Yellows. Same money as the Bilsteins, but adjustable and apparently they're really good dampers even without the adjustability -$650 at shox.com, $785 with a set oe Eibach Sportlines.

Man..gotta tell ya. I have had Eibach prokits and KYB x 4 and I have a rough ride. It handles great (but I have a shi*load of suspension mods anyway). The only thing is, dont do it if the streets you drive on are crappy. I feel everything. Have to say sorry to my lady alot for hitting holes so hard. I love hard cars.
