I agree about the KYB's versus the Bilsteins. The KYB's are cheap but are a
bit "unpolished," so to speak, compared to either the Bilsteins or the
Boges. However, IMO the best shocks of all for a Vanagon are the Koni's.
They have great handling, are lifetime warranted, and (uniquely) are user
adjustable to your taste (or to compensate for wear/softening as they age).
I have never seen a customer be less than thrilled with them.
