I have Bilstein B6s on mine and I love them. The ride is great, and handling superb - much better than before. The stock stuff on mine was pretty tired when I got it though. I have some aftermarket springs too - can't remember the brand, but they're Swedish and pretty good.
The B6s are about £120 a corner. Not sure how that compares to OE Sachs.
The only criticism I have of Bilstein is they suck at figuring out ride heights. Every time I've put them on something its ended up higher than it should be, so have required a bit of mix n match of spring platforms to sort them out. Having spoken to their customer services bods they seem to think that 'max axle weight' is the same as kerb weight. I'm sure my A6 would have been lowered with 700Kg extra cargo, but at kerb weight the B12 kit lifted it about 25mm!
Mark - did they change the ride height of yours?
