I put in Bilstein B4's. Not sure if that is equivalent to HD or comfort, but no complaints.
Pros: no complaints

I’ve run both and they definitely exist for different reasons! My 280E was lowered with the HDs, and my 300D’s have all run comforts. It sounds like you want the comforts, and they are amazing for sure. Smooooooth ride, makes for lovely cruising.
Pros: Smooooooth ride, lovely cruising
Cons: feel the bumps
It’s been about 23 days now with the bilsteins. And it is definitely a noticeable improvement. It definitely rides better
Pros: noticeable improvement, rides better
Cons: bumps are worse
Everest Tremor gets uprated suspension which comprises a 26mm lift. Along with new springs, larger Bilstein shock absorbers – with position-sensitive damping and piggyback-style external reservoirs
Pros: uprated suspension, larger shock absorbers
Vehicle:
Ford
Every time I buy a Bilstein monotube I am ultimately more satisfied. Bilsteins seem to last forever.
Pros: ultimately more satisfied, last forever
I had both back to back on an e46 M3 autocrosser and the Bilstein was better all round, street & ‘track’.
Pros: better all round, street & track
Vehicle:
BMW
Having used both in Street class, I feel like the Bilstein is the answer unless you're a knob turner. They have more compression generally than Koni, but will ride a bit harsher on the street because they're monotube instead of twin tube. The former is typically more performance oriented.
Pros: more compression, performance oriented
Cons: harsher ride on street
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I went with the b6 on my 08 boxster s it really firmed up the ride
Pros: firmed up ride
Vehicle:
Porsche
B4 is SE, I run B6 (oem sport height) on the rear and B8 (sport+) on the front with Eibach springs, this setup is low and will catch on some speedbumps.
Pros: low setup
Cons: catches on speedbumps
Bilstein 5100's are junk! 3 out of 4 of mine failed. (Blown Seals)I don't even go off road with my truck. They won't stand behind them without original receipts, where purchased, when purchased etc. etc. etc.........
Cons: premature failure, poor warranty support
