Time to replace the struts and shocks on the '01.

Looking for opinions on KYB ($318) vs. Sachs ($380).
The KYBs are comparable to original equipment according to the catalog.
I'm not sure what came on the car from the factory, but I know it wasn't KYB.

I've used KYB on other cars in the past and have always been satisfied, but don't really know anything about Sachs.

The price difference isn't huge. What about the quality and ride?
I should add that this car is just a daily driver and there is no interest in any performance upgrades.

Edit: I see Tasca has them for around $300. I think I'd choose that option over the KYB.
