I did OEM aero springs w/ Bilstiens and am happy w/them

I didn't want to lose more clearance w/the eibachs (which are a bit stiffer than oem, but also shorter), but the bilstiens firm things up a bit more than the oem shocks. cost is about the same.
things to think about:
I did the '02 sway bars at the same time, and ended up doing the front subframe bushings too, shortly afterwards. When I looked at Koni's, the front struts required more labor w/cutting, etc, and I decided not to go that way. That may have changed, but I'd check into it first.
The end result was a flatter, slightly firmer ride than the early aero's. I'm happy with it.
Good luck, you'll probably like it better no matter what you decide. Do some searches "bistien", "koni", "eibach", etc, and you'll find at least one person who didn't like the changes, too. There's a lot of good information, though
