I've got Bilstein B4's all round on mine with genuine Volvo topmounts. The Bilsteins do give a stiffer ride than standard although they are supposed to be OEM spec ride quality. Volvo fit Monroe shocks as standard, but I have never got on with Monroe replacements on other cars I have had hence going for the Bilsteins.
