Bilstein seems to be highly reputable. That's what I put on my rears. I think they were $184 for the pair.

Depends on what you want out of it. Adjustables are probably the best for most people.
I love my Bilsteins. But I know that Defcon prefers Koni's valving over Bilstein.

which KYB's are you talking about? I can think of a few shocks/struts that are better than the KYB GR-2.
Tokico Illuminas are great if you want adjustment. Bilstein are expensive but great shocks/struts but are not adjustable.
