Default Best Dampers/Shocks to use with H&R OE Springs

I recently have received a free set of H&R oe sport springs and am going to install them on the car. I figured, since I am going to be ripping up the suspension, this would be a good time to throw in a set of Shocks/Dampers to match. Currently, I am running Audi's Sport Package and have the say that the ride is still but does not seem to be flowing. If anything, I would think that the dampers are mismatched with the springs. I primarily drive on beat up 2 lane back roads, so suspension travel and pliancy take all out precedent over racetrack stiffness.

I was wondering what people are running for Shocks/Dampers and what they feel about their sport packages. Coilovers are being excluded simply because I will not be able to get into my neighborhood and driveway as both have huge non-fixable dips

I forgot to mention that currently the choice is between the following:

1. Bilstein B8 Sport
2. Bilstein B6 HD
3. Koni FSD
4. Koni Yellows
5. Keep the stocks?
