I don’t find the Tokico D Spec. listed anywhere. Yellows would be my choice.
It appears the Tokico D specs have since been discontinued. The OP currently has the Koni yellows, but wants a damper that provides a smoother ride quality.
If I'm reading the correct reference, all it says is that Bilstein uses both linear and digressive valving. Nothing about both approaches being present in the same damper unless you're looking at digressive valving as being essentially linear up to whatever point the damper force starts increasing at a slower rate.
That's Bilstein as a company, not as any of their specific products.

Actually you read the reference correctly, it was me who misinterpreted it. Therefore, my apologies!
Bilstein said they don't sell the B8 for our cars anymore, but said the B6 will work with Eibach or H&R springs. So meh don't know about that route.
Sucks it's such a pain replacing those. To try each for a month would be neato to see.
I don't agree what Bilstein said about the B6 working with Eibach or H&R springs, as the description from their website clearly states " the B6 dampers are specifically designed for stock height applications" Neither Eibach or H&R spring kits are stock height, they're both shorter than the stock springs. IMO it appears whoever told you the B6 dampers are compatible with lowering spring kits? is obviously providing you with inaccurate information.
At any rate, you may want to consider the following damper kits from Ford Performance Parts, as the website claims their dampers both provide improved handling and ride quality that are designed for both stock and lowering spring kit applications. In the meantime, I've provided the website links below.
