Strut Recommendations

My 2001 9-3S needs a new right front strut. It's creaking pretty badly over bumps, and there's some wheel chatter after sharp bumps (ie, it's not damping the wheel bounce). The car's got about 130,000 miles on it.
Does anyone have recommendations for strut brands? eEuroparts has Sachs and BilsteinHD and Bilstein Sport. I've got Bilsteins on my 1980 99, and they're pretty nice, but the Sachs is a little cheaper. I'm looking for wet weather traction more than dry pavement grip (I'm a sportish driver, but not obsessive, and prefer snow traction).
Also, would I need a wheel alignment after replacing the struts?
Also, also, I bought the car used 2 years ago, and I'm not sure how much clutch is left. How much clutch material should I see through the view port (or, how much clutch movement should I see)?
TIA
