Sachs the best replacement struts?

I've been researching available replacement front struts for my '14 Max.
I've found that the candid parts internet site has the widest mgr range of struts. I'm interested in just changing struts. I'm interested in improving handling.
So, I'm wondering if the sachs struts, available there, would do better than the monroe or Gabriel's typically available.
I wish they offered the "sport option" versions, but they only have the normal ones(drat!).
Anyone have experience here?

some have had some issues with the Monroe Quick Struts. I used the Monroe cartridge (strut only) with the original springs and have been fine for the past few years.

I had both of my front springs break 3 month apart. Replaced with new Sachs struts, and Moog springs. Rides fine. Dont feel like its better or worse than before. I had regular suspension, not sport variety.
