I recently just upgraded my zhp sedan to with an H&R touring cup kit. It offers about .75' drop in the front and a .25 inch drop in the rear. After installing I can say with absolute confidence that my car is lower than the kit advertises, especially in the rear. From a profile view the wheels look almost completely flush with the car, giving it all of the low that I wanted without compromising my car as a daily driver. You see I didn't want to go with the sport version of the H&R cup kit because I didn't want to compromise my ability to go over speed bumps or potholes. ( I commute to work in DC) so being able to drive the car without stiff vibrations running down my spine was important.
The H&R springs (and shocks too I think) are progressive. This means that under normal driving conditions the car will feel like stock. But when you throw the car around and really hit a turn, you will notice the lack of body roll and how tight the handling is. Ideal for my needs, since I daily drive my car and don't want to track it.
As far as I know bilstein and H&R are the same company, so their quality is relatively the same. I can't vouch for the other suspension setup you listed but I'm sure some other guys here can give you some insight. But as far as my H&R touring cup kit, I love it.
If I weren't on my phone and at work I would give you some links and other info but I can only do so much.
I made a thread a little while back when I decided on what suspension setup I was going to go with. I think you can find it in my build thread in my sig.
