For me Sachs is the way to go for original quality and driving dynamics. I have Sachs on all 4 corners on both my W124s and they are great.
Pros: original quality, great driving dynamics

BUT op if I were you, I'd replace just the shocks (keep the Sachs springs) and replace with OE Sachs shocks (struts) Bilstien also makes yellows with OE ride height i believe, that would be the best street ride quality.
Pros: best street ride quality
Almost forgot Sachs, if you have a euro car they are also a great choice.
Pros: great choice
I just installed Sachs shocks, and I love the ride
Pros: love the ride
I’ve had both for a rwd N52, currently on Sachs. But the Sachs are still really good and worth it for the savings over the B4.
Pros: really good, worth savings

I can say I still keep an original 1990 G60 Corrado Mannesman Sachs clutch kit around to compare to newer ZF Sachs clutch kits. The older ones are thicker metal for the pressure plate shell and its friction surface, the newer ZF Sachs is thinner metal, but I use them because we have no time machine to get NOS 1990s parts.
Pros: thicker metal, better friction
Cons: thinner metal, newer parts
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
Just did the clutch on my old 3.0, rockauto had a Sachs clutch kit. Works well, is a pretty reputable OEM brand.
Pros: works well, reputable OEM
My local BMW shop suggested the OEM replacement Sachs and I agreed. Im very happy with them. Made the bumps much more manageable while still retaining that BMW stiffness we love about these cars.
Pros: bumps manageable, retained stiffness

cuando compré mi 330i tenía el amortiguador trasero del lado del conductor cagado. Más allá de que acá te matan con el precio de cazoletas y amortiguadores (hablamos de OE, o sea Sachs, etc.) no se consiguen los guardapolvos ni los topes superiores.
Cons: no se consiguen guardapolvos

Sorry to burst this bubble, that I was hoping to benefit from, but I ordered from Rock Auto, it arrived today, and the Sachs kit is no longer an FCC friction disk with caged springs. The springs are no longer caged like OEM. The pressure plate also, although it looks similar is also not marked as FCC, both are just marked with weird Sachs part numbers that don't co-relate with any searches that I have done, but they do match the numbers on the outside of the Sachs box it shipped in. Both bearings are still marked as Nachi and Japan. The Sachs box says made in Japan on the outside, but the design of the friction disc is different and there is no FCC branding on either the disk or the plate. I'm not sure how much I missed this deal by, but I was gutted to find out this is no longer the deal that it was. Returning it tomorrow.
Cons: springs not caged, no FCC branding, different design, not OEM equivalent
