Which shocks for 02 Jetta TDI, standard suspension/springs?

I'm looking to replace the shocks on all four corners of my 02 Jetta TDI with 87k, and want the basic same ride and driving characteristics as when new. Not into any mods. I know shocks have been discussed ad-nauseum but I've done a lot of searching for input from MkIV Jetta drivers who have installed new shocks using the standard suspension/springs with no mods, but constantly find input from those who have lowered, modded, or use different springs, and only speak of sport/HD shocks. One of the reasons I bought the car was the balance of a comfortable ride with good handling for a relatively small car. I'm now in my 60s and though I like straight-line speed, I'm not into heavy cornering, or getting it on the track. I simply want a reasonably comfy, non-jarring ride with good control on most road surfaces. I make a lot of trips from Huntsville to Columbia, TN to visit a good friend, and the bridge joints on I-65 are awful, sometimes feeling like hitting a frost heave. So, I'm looking to make that experience a bit easier on myself and the car.

After reading many reviews, I've been considering OEM Sachs or Koni reds. If anyone out there has a car similar to mine and has installed new shocks on a standard suspension with no mods, I'd be interested in which shocks you installed and your input/suggestions.
