Default Which Bilstein package?

I posted this in the V50 section, thought I can post here too for extra feedback. I have a 2006 V50 T5 and need some advice.

I need to replace all the bushes and drop links, and will also change the shocks to lower it slightly. Just wondering which Bilstein package to go for. Choices are B12 or B14. I like the idea of the B14 with adjustability, buy realistically I’m only going to lower it around 25mm. I don’t want a slammed look, as I want the car subtle still. Are there any performance benefits of the 14 over the 12? Car is 2006 with 107k on the clock so the originals are pretty done.
