My line of thought goes like this.
In winter no need for stiff spring rates to counter any roll on sticky tires, due grip levels being very very low. And roads might be worse, so softer rates will net extra road compliance/comfort.
Extra ground clearance also will be helpful to not get stuck in deep snow.
And your mentioned construction points to stand well against salt and dirt. Though might be replaced by lower cost, so that it's cheaper to replace.
Summarizing it all, i'd think of something like bilstein B6 struts with stock springs. Stock height, relatively cheap, not over-stiffened.
