The best from the handling point of view are competition Bilsteins available from places such as Harry Hockley and some others.

Don't know about Koni etc but Avo are OK. However I would recommend something like the G-max uprated and lowered kits. They are good value for money and you can get different drops. Generally most people don't go much below -60mm. Personally I would go for around -45 mm esp if you are planning to run 16" or above wheels and if you don't want the constant arse ache of wheel scrubbage and ripping stuff off on speed humps etc.

FYI although most don't bother to do anything about it, lowering will affect the geometry of the wheels, which results in the inner edges being worn away very quickly esp. if you have larger/wider than std wheelsas well
