Default Tokico or Bilstein?

So with the govt stimulus check im about to get, its time to upgrade my suspension. The car has some ebay coils on it that were put on by the last owner. So im buying Ground Controls. But as far as shocks go, im stuck between Bilstein Twin Tubes or Tokico HPs. Ive searched for peoples opinions, but didnt find anyone who actually had experience with Bilstein products. What would be for the better?

I'm running Eibachs right now, but I've installed Bilsteins on one of my older cars. Simply put, Bilstein makes some of the very best shocks in the world. Their Research facility (Poway, CA)is not far from where I live and I hope to go on a tour when they become available again. You cannot go wrong with Bilsteins. They are a huge favorite among the Corvette, BMW, and Viper crowds for good reason.
