Icon2 need help? Cant decide on suspension :(

So I have came down to 3 different suspensions that I cannot decide on.

1. Eibach pro system -
2. Tokico blues/springs -
3. Tein street basis system -

Im not looking into getting into many races and what not...its more or so for show and just to avoid the car being lower due to the speakers I have in my trunk and also just having extra people in the back So I just need different opinions or personal experiences that you have had with these. Ive aslo see that alot of people mismatch suspension systems. ie: tokico blues/eibach pro springs <---- this i have seen alot of.

I have a 1996 4dr Honda Accord 4 cyl. non vtec not exactly sure if its dx,ex, etc

Eibach Pro system out of those. Why not Koni STRT and your choice of Eibach spring?

Might want to read my thread before making your final decision:

I've observed plenty of feedback from numerous setups on these forums. "Suspension guru's" largely agree with my over simplified take on suspension selection. It is a good start at the very least.
