I have KYBs and I actually like them. They firm up the ride but it isn't harsh. Good bargain.

I have an Eibach pro-kit and I wouldn't recommend it. They feel OK after getting used to the progressive rate thing. The problem was that they never lowered my car correctly. The front was slammed practically 2 inches and the back was lowered only a half inch. Real stupid looking rake effect. I raised up the front with some coil spring spacers so it looks better now.

If you want to spend a lot and get something nice go with a matched spring/shock combo and get a chassis brace kit. MMs has great stuff. I've heard a lot of good things about H&Rs and Bilstiens.

If you want to go the economical route, get some KYBs and FMS C springs. Then weld up some subframe connectors. That will give a much improved ride.
