I have the Tanabe gf210 and the drop is perfect, the ride is good, and the quality seems as good as any I've seen. They're not that expensive either.

Hotchkis arent bad at all, they give you an even drop and are not to low as to not be able to go up on curbs and such. The ride feel is pretty close to stock.

I had the Tien springs back in the day and they rode really well and looked great and the car was easily alignable (is that a word?). I later removed them and went with HKS coilovers, but they were great at first. It is never ending!
lowering spring are good, if your strut is still new. Save your money for CO, my .02.
btw, I have hotchkis and the drop looks good.

For the stock struts, my research found that Tein H-techs and Hotchkis are the best. Considering daily drivers, these two springs brands never seemed to over tax the stock struts and felt pretty close to the stock comfort. I have heard great things about the tanabe's and Espelirs....but if it was my daily driver, I would get the Hotchkis or Tein H-techs(just for the subtle drop and no significant gain in handling). Now if it were a weekend warrior and stiffer handling was a must then the Tanabe's or Espelirs would get the nod. Full race, money no option coilovers and call it a day. Hope this helps.
