I've found the OE Boge's (apparently now called the Sachs Advantage) to be a good all-round shock - not harsh at all.

However, I mounted a set of Boge TurboGas (gas-charged) on my son's car and noted a very slightly stiffer ride than the originals, but not uncomfortable at all on less-than-perfect surfaces. And - for want of a better word - more 'secure' handling. IMHO, a good compromise.
