I think in general both are okay.

In detail I can only write for Bilstein, as I have installed it in my SLK: The damping rate is easily adjustable in 9 levels at all four shocks for the SLK. But for that you must crawl under the car or better use a car elevator. This might help for a better understanding:

Carlsson delivers special springs for the front axle for the SLK, the rest is Bilstein.

The rebound and compression rate of the KW suspension can be adjusted independently. This looks like an advantage, but for the normal practice it is much too complex because of the large amount of possibilities. I think for this KW encloses a guideline.

I changed the set up of my Bilstein two times and now it's fine.
