I would use only KYB, Gabriel, and Sachs struts. I've tried the cheap no name Chinese ones and all you'll get are alignment issues and worn out parts in a year or less.
Pros: alignment maintained
Cons: worn out parts

I had these KYBs on the front of my W124 for a while, until I went over a speed bump and one of the struts blew out.
Pros: normal non-descript damper
Cons: struts blew out
Had KYB-GR-2 struts paired with Vogtland springs some 10 years ago on my Camry. Rode nicely and smoothly, very OEM like.
Pros: Rode nicely and smoothly
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Got the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX rear struts in last night. All I've got to say is wow. Talk about an amazing ride. The KYB AGX dampening adjustable struts are an incredible strut for the money. I played around with the dampening adjustment during my drive and you can completely change the feel in the rear of the car with just a few clicks of the adjustment knob.
Pros: amazing ride, incredible strut
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
For my WRX, I went with KYB. First, they are cheaper. Second, they are 20% stiffer than OEM. I know you might not want a stiff ride, but the OEM ones are really soft. The 20% stiffer ones pair very nicely with stock springs. Honestly, it will feel and handle much better.
KYB actually makes the OEM ones, so fitment is spot on.
Pros: 20% stiffer, better handling, spot-on fitment
Vehicle:
Subaru
KYB gas struts
Pros: gas struts
I used brand new KYB rabbit struts, and put a 1.5" lenth of round stock in the bottom of the strut housing to make up the difference in tube length
Pros: new struts
Vehicle:

Pros: great for daily driver
