Don't mix brands. Buy all your struts from the same maker.

If you go with the AGXs do not lower your car too much, or your dampers will blow out, particularly the rear. They don't like having limited travel under load.

Not to mention your alignment would be off and without a camber kit, I don't think you could get it right either

Bilsteins would be another good choice with ground controls.

I'm not sure if they make them for the DA, but its worth looking into.

Bilsteins are cheaper than Koni's and can be rebuilt to hold higher rates with not too much trouble in the offseason.

I know that Bilstein doesnt make the sport shocks, used when cars are lowered, only Heavy duty for cars that will remain at stock height. I have koni yellows and they are amazing ... there was a group buy before that my friend set up and got them for $875 tax in, shipping included.
