Yeah OME’s for a good softer ride in an XJ but best option, best value and more available is Bilstein 5100s. Lots of great reviews of them
Pros: good softer ride
Vehicle:
Jeep
I love mine, but it will be a rough ride on the road if your suspension geometry is off.
Pros: love mine
Cons: rough ride
Bilstein 5100s, I love them on mine. They take a while to break in, but just go beat on them off-road for a day and they’re dreamy.
Pros: dreamy, love them
Cons: take a while
KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.
Pros: worked great
Cons: soft and bouncy
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Best bang for your buck would definitely be bilsteins. If you don't do much off-road then bilsteins will be plenty good enough
Pros: best bang for buck
I used Bilstein 5100s forever on previous trucks and they worked well and gave me some added lift. I now run Bilstein 6112s in front and 5160s in the rear. More expensive set up but way better ride than any Rancho shock could give you.
Pros: worked well, added lift
Cons: more expensive
I have Bilstein 5100’s on my ‘15 and love them. Leveled the front with them to within a 1/4”.
Pros: love them
I ended up going with Koni FSDs again along with matching Eibach springs. Tirerack still sold them as a matched kit. Ride height looks to be the same, although ride quality seems a bit harsher. I think these springs have a different spring rate than the stock ones, even though most people thought that the factory springs were Eibach. It's not bad, but I definitely feel every bump in the road.
Pros: ride height looks the same
Cons: ride quality a bit harsher
I installed Bilstein B16 DCC shocks/springs. Frankly I hate them. They are not tuned to the chassis well so makes the car pitch over bumps and creak/groan badly
Cons: pitch over bumps, creak/groan

Volkswagen Golf
