Default 997.1 Struck Assembly Recommendations?

The right front damper on our '05 997.1 blew a seal and oil is everywhere. It's my wife's car and she said she was very happy with the ride and does not want any height, performance or stiffness changes. The left rear was clunking a little so I was figuring on getting into the suspension anyway, so might as well do all four corners. It's non-PASM, just plain struts.

Any recommendations on brand and source for full strut assemblies for all four corners? I'm just beginning the parts search, but recommendations would be welcome to help narrow the focus. I just got some KW v3's for the 928, but I don't think that's the right direction for the 997.

Thanks!

It’s been a while but I replaced the GT3 shocks and struts on the wife’s 996 with adjustable Blestein Sports struts w/H&R springs. She liked the ride and performance with that combination.
