are you bottoming out??? the easiest solution to that is raise the car up a bit..... Ya know for handling (Especially with a production car) there is a such a thing as being too low.
otherwise Konis are the only shock worth a damn out right now.

I would go full coilovers. After getting the konis done, you will spend 3/4 of the money to get tein basics or a really good deal on B&G's which will cost only that 1/4 more. When you get just konis too your ride wont be half as good as with a true coilover setup. I am sure any suspension guy will agree with me.

Not nessisarily.
ride quality is controled by the springs. Softer springs = softer ride. the shocks, while a stiff shock will contribute to the total ride quality, are more for stoping the springs from bouncing and helping control weight transfer in corners. So with the right spring and a Koni Yellow shock, you can get an as good if not better ride and handling then with a full coilover set up. you just have to do the home work rather then paying a company to do the work for you.
