I don't drive the XC60 aggressively so don't need ultra sporty shocks.
Any recommendations for replacements ? I'll do both the rear shocks and the front struts.

As majority of car manufacturers only guarantee such components unto 60K miles (100K kms) you've certainly obtained your value for money out of these
two fold.
Since you're happy with the original setup (even @ 200K kms) I'd recommend
SACHS shocks as they are OEM for the XC60 (that's what is on my 2009 XC60 D5 AWD). Alternatively
Bilstein B4 are of comparable OEM quality, often advertised as 20% better than OEM and from my personal experience on non Volvo cars, they are a sound investment.
