I personally have been a Bilstien H&R fan since my first mk4 Frankingolf where I tore down and rebuilt a 4 door golf into a 4 door gti. Have stuck with that combo ever since and that is the ONLY thing that has always worked according to plan.
Pros: always worked according to plan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Bilstein are awesome- but the price is not. I put a set on a 2000 F150 4x4 that I once had and couldn’t believe how much better the truck drove.
Pros: much better truck drove
Cons: price is not
Vehicle:
Ford
I can still rip sweepers at 120mph like my friend with Bilstein B6's, but my car rides so much better over the small uneven bits of pavement.
Pros: better ride quality
Vehicle:
BMW
Just put on a new set of Bilstein 4600's and am liking it. Feels stock and back to new again. Not too stiff, but certainly not squishy like the old worn ones.
Pros: Feels stock, back to new
Cons: Front install sucks
Vehicle:

I just did Bilsteins on my 2500 burb. They work great.
Pros: work great
Yes B4's should help.
Pros: should help

Drader has swapped for B6s in the rear of his Alltrack so has 1st hand experience with it's effects.
Pros: 1st hand experience

I went with B6 rear shocks and slightly bigger RSB. Was super happy with the balance until I added air bags (Air Lift) in the rear. They are great when the car is loaded with camping gear & bikes (prevents sagging but), but when empty, the handling is pretty unbalanced between front and rear (even when AirLift bags are at their minimum PSI).
Pros: happy with the balance
Cons: handling is unbalanced
Vehicle:

I believe Bilstein has a B4 version that will fit front and back and also a B6 rear inset. Probably the best option for OP. Rebound damping on stock shocks is the biggest issue.
Pros: best option for OP
Cons: rebound damping issue
