I ran the MK6 Bilstein B8 set with Eibach Sportline springs on my MKV and loved the setup. Worked great on street and even did quite well on track. I am an older guy (less tolerant of a rough ride) and they were great.
Pros: worked great on street
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Go with Bilstein 4600 like others said, 5100 is too stiff unless you are more loaded down
Cons: 5100 is too stiff
If it is a true FX4 (later models), it already had some of the best shock absorbers to begin with - Bilstein.
Pros: best shock absorbers
On my 2007 GTI when my stock shocks went I paired the Eibach springs I had used with the stock shocks with a set of Bilstein B6's and it was literally perfection.
Pros: literally perfection

How do those ride compared to stock? I just got bilstein 6112s put on mine with SPC uppers and it rides way better than stock even around town.
Pros: rides way better
belstein 4600's are a great stock replacement, they came factory on the fx4 level 2's.
Pros: great stock replacement

Ford Ranger
Bilstein B14 (non-adjustable) or Bilstein B16 (damping adjustable, rebound + compression together IIRC) are also decent choices, and I believe there are versions that will fit both FWD and AWD GSWs. My Alltrack on B14s appears below. I have them set within 1/2\" of the top of their adjustment because the tires are 245s and I don't want too much rubbing. The can go at least 1.25\" lower.
Pros: decent choices
Cons: rubbing possible

I have Bilstein B8 front struts with eibach pro kit springs. So far they have offered me a much firmer ride and a more confident handling experience. The stock boots don't do much for keeping them clean though. Mine are squeaking like crazy!
Pros: firmer ride, confident handling
Cons: squeaking like crazy
Part number: B8
I personally had Bilstein OE replacements on my E46 that were leaking and failed even though they were practically brand new when we removed them.
Cons: leaking and failed
