Budget would be good to know....
Penske or Koni... that's all I recommend if you can't have external reservoirs. Even revalved yellows would probably be fine and they're about the best performance for dollar shock.
Just get what ever you buy dynoed so you know what you're dealing with and so that you can get all the shocks set the same with their external adjusters if they are not all the same at the same settings.
To not get them dynoed would be a mistake.

Penske can't do a non-remote canister DA shock. They can do Rebound only, Compression only, or R/C on the same adjuster. It adjusts 65%/35% R/C.
To get a DA without the remote canister you are basically stuck with Koni (not a bad thing). The 2812's are somewhere near $1100 a corner, the 3012's are around $550-600 a corner. The only disadvantage to the 3012's is that you have to completely extend the shock and turn the body to adjust compression. You'll need to jack up the car - take out the lower shock bolt - disconnect the sway bar - extend the shock all the way - then rotate the body.
Bilstein also sells a DA shaft with both rebound and compression adjusters at the top of the shaft. They can be added to the PSS dampers. It is very very expensive though.

Koni NA and TC Kline are clearancing all of the development shocks from TCKs still born S2000 product line. You may be able to score a set of purpose built (Not converted Yellows) DAs for $1200 a set if you can get ahold of TCK quickly enough.
