Default Need struts - any recommendations?

While replacing my front brakes, I noticed that the left strut is starting to leak and will, soon, need replacement. What options are out there that will maintain the stock ride? This is a daily long commute car, not a race car.

Thanks,

Bob

Default Which shocks

I've used Bilsteins on several makes of cars and trucks over the years and have liked them, so I figured I'd try a pair when I rebuilt the front end of my '99 A6Q(240K miles) this winter. The shock cylinder was slightly larger but they fit fine. Handling returned after installing all the new aluminum bits, and the shocks do their job quite well and are no harsher than OEM.
