Curious on the Pro’s and Con’s of each system. I don’t really plan on makin my car a full out race/track car but would like to take it on occasion just for fun. Would like air ride just for the fact my driveway has a big dig at the end of it that even my wife’s front valance on her mini van scraps on if she comes in too fast. But coil overs (I’d think) have the least issues with? But I don’t want that to be the only reason. So I’d like to hear all sides, good and bad.

Not much to say that can't be figured out by sitting down and really thinking about it. Air ride comes with in-car height adjustment. Spring rate is set by the bag itself combined with the pressure.
But it also comes with a compressor, reserve tank, lines, and the electrical components to make it work. That increases the number of things to break, and raises the cost.
Coil-overs are just that. Threaded body shocks with springs and the associated mounting hardware.
Whether you need either is up to you. If the only reason you're considering the air ride is to clear your driveway, it'll probably be cheaper to just fix your driveway.
