preferences for replacement shocks?

I have a 2002 Linear. Shocks seem a bit weak . Suspension seems mushy but since I just got the car (50k), can't tell if that's normal. Anyway, I'm thinking about replacing. My first thought was Bilsteins (HD?), but they don't seem to be available for the 2002 and up. Koni's sport shock is and looks about the same price or cheaper (around $150 for struts, $100 for rear shocks). I'm afraid the sport shock may be too stiff. I'd like to stiffen the ride a bit but not a lot.
Which way should I go? Koni sport, Sachs/Boge stock, sport, or maybe there are Bilsteins out there? And what's the dif. with the struts for the 99-01 and 02 and up? From what I could gather, seems the rear shocks are the same for all. True?
