Depends on how much you want to spend.

KYB GR2's --> very cheap, 10% stiffer than stock, non-adjustable
KYB AGX --> relatively cheap, 4-way adjustable,
Koni Yellow --> moderately priced, adjustable, adjustable perch settings,

H&R makes a shock now with ajustable perches, although it is actually just the koni yellows repackaged. They came in my H&R cup kit, i'm not sure if they sell them individually yet.

I've had the KYB AGX's for a little while. Adjustable shocks OWN!! You can set them for whatever kind of ride setup you want. Oh, and by the way...i've got mine for sale.

i dont think you can adjust the height by the shocks...

you'll need springs to do that.

There's no way you searched...there have been threads on numerous struts/shocks with reviews and everything...

I'm riding on Skunk2 coils mated with KYB AGXs and i love the ride. Front shocks set to 1 and rear shocks set to 2. Its my daily driver and i love the stiff ride.

If you don't plan on tracking the car, then I wouldn't go with anything crazier than the KYB AGX's.
