Simply put, the Koni FSD will be the most compliant ride of the 3 dampers you listed. The Bilstein dampers are the most durable/hardest riding, Koni Yellow is a bit more compliant and softer than the Bilstein while still being comparable for performance/balance and the FSD will be more focused on comfort with performance taking a back seat. Although I believe the FSD is the most expensive option of the three.

For perspective, I talked to some Grand-AM GT crew teams who told me they use Ohlins dampers for when they're really trying to shave milliseconds from their times and Bilstein dampers for the Daytona 24hrs because they're the toughest and less likely to blow out. I went with Bilstein...
