Best shocks?

I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for...
I would like to start considering a new set of shocks all around on the '64. I have had Bilsteins on another car in the past and really liked them. I see KYB has a nice "looking" set, but don't know much about them.
What is the general opinion from you guys?

I like the bilsteins. I put them on my father's 64 and they were a drastic improvement over the old Monroe sensatracs. I liked the bilsteins so much that i purchased a set for my 65 as well. They aren't cheap, but as far as i am concerend they are top of the line.

For non oem shock, Bilstien seems to get the most nods.

I put Bilstien's on my 60 front and back and I like them. Are they worth the extra money? I am not sure.

I had Bilstein Sports on the 65 with a VBP suspension kit. They were too hard for me. I ended up with Spax externally adjustable shocks. I really like these. I can reset all four in 5 minutes.

I set them for my taste.
