I ran 5100's f/r for awhile before installing a 2" lift. They rode great. They still ride great with the lift springs I installed later to accompany them. They feel like the "Sport" setting in the AHC switch would've felt like if you had good stock shocks. They're not spine compressing stiff in the slightest.
Pros: rode great, not stiff

I had Bilstein B8s with Neuspeed Sport springs and the damping is way better, and adjustable with clicks at the base of the shocks, with B16s even though the spring rates are significantly higher. B8/NSS were bouncy in comparison over expansion joints, etc.
Pros: damping is way better
Cons: bouncy in comparison
No experience with the b16s but I went from lowering springs on stock struts to lowering springs on b8s and it made a world of a difference.
Pros: made a world of difference

Bilstein shocks will dramatically transform the on road experience
Pros: dramatically transform experience
The answer is always the same. Bilstein 5100.
Vehicle:
Ford
Part number: 5100
Get factory msport springs and Bilstein B6s and roll on. The springs will give the car a slightly more aggressive look than base E91 hight while still giving each corner plenty of travel. The B6s will give you a tight, yet smooth ride.
Pros: tight, smooth ride

After installing new shocks felt like a completely different car. No body roll or nose dive.
Pros: different car feel, no body roll, no nose dive
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Some people say Bilstein 5100 remove nose dive, but I disagree - the 5100 help, but you still nose dive.
Pros: helps
Cons: still nose dives

Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).
Cons: spring seat upside down
