Shocks 'n Struts and Question...

Stopped by an Indy the other day and in addition to some other work inquired about some suspension improvements. I explained I do a lot of city driving with pot holes and the like. He said Koni's would be too stiff and would transfer destructive energy to the frame...that Billstiens would be a better choice being that they are a gas shock. That seemed pretty good until I started doing some searches here and it sounds like the Bilsteins are pretty stiff hard riding shocks...maybe more so than the Konis. Is this true?
While I like performance, bkz of my driving enviornment, I would definitely not want it at the risk of my Saab.
Any thoughts on this advice? Any recommendations?
Thank you very much!
