Im choosing motorcraft because it's stock OEM ride and it has a 2 year warranty, parts and labor.
Pros: stock OEM ride, 2 year warranty
Guess I lucked out when I ordered my B6's (talked to the company first and knew they were 4 days out)
Pros: lucked out when ordered
I put Gabriel ready struts on. I like them. They are a more truck like ride. I tried some cheap RCS brand ones and I was literally bottoming in city streets with a lift kit lol. I would go Monroe if you want really smooth(never had them but that’s what I’ve heard), Gabriel a little more performance or if you tend to carry heavier stuff frequently.
Pros: truck like ride
Cons: bottoming in city streets
Buy KYB Struts Plus because they are identical to the OEM in replicating the ride and feel.
Pros: replicates ride and feel
Duralast loaded struts from autozone, put em on my dads 200k volkswagen passat, ride height is fine and they ride good, all my shops around town buy em and dont seem to have any issue at all
Pros: ride good, ride height fine
Vehicle:

Mileage: 200000 km
Just purchased a set of front Koni STR.T for my Son's 08 C30 T5 2.0 M66. Bilstein are in the back. Had the resources to upgrade suspension parts in the late 80's and Koni has been the best thus far compared to Bilstein, Gabriel, KYB and Monroe on various makes.
Pros: Koni has been best
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Be careful if you buy rebuilt Phaeton struts. I haven't found any that mention rebuilding the dampers (shocks). They check them and repaint them and put new air bags on them. You can buy new air bags and swap them yourself for less money.
Pros: new air bags available
Cons: rebuilt dampers questionable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
I went with all KYB on my 07. I don’t like them. I feel like they are much stiffer
Cons: much stiffer
Mileage: 320000 km
I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better
Cons: very harsh ride
