My mechanic recommended Sachs shocks.
I just changed front shocks and coil springs at 115,000 mls because one spring broke somehow. Check germanautoparts.com, I got Sachs from them.
Ok, I got both Monroe and Sachs and visually compared/inspected them. I would rate Monroe 3 or 3.5 out of 5 and Sachs 4 or 4.5 out of 5 based on what I see. Sachs look better overall, packed in boxes, shocks with holograms and seems more professional, like parts you would like to work with.
My five year old (55k+ miles) Eibach Pro setup has been great thus far... the shocks/stuts are actually made by Sachs. So, Sachs gets me vote.
The beetle ones have done me right for probably 30k miles. My setup is 3.5 in drop plates on 13"s with no leafs removed, it can still haul 800lbs with 130psi in the rear no problem.
