If money is of no concern, then King all the way. If money is a concern, then bilsteins are an excellent 2nd choice.

I have the same lift. It came with B5100s and I'm looking to upgrade. I would love to have King adjustable. But more in my budget is B7100s or RK emulsions, just not sure which would have a better ride

As stated earlier, if you have the cash, go with the Kings. They do not disappoint.
