Default DSE VS Hotchkis Leaf Springs

OK, what better? I want the comfort ride and great handleing. I will be going with leaf springs no matter what it in the budjet. I was reading the DSE we sight and they claim the can maintain a better ride because the rubber between each leaf. I tried to find some info on Hotchkins but I could not. My original plan was to get the Hotchkins TVS System. But I'm thinking the DSE leaf it better.This will be going on a 69 Camaro, Big Block, Convertible.

Also http://www.landrumsprings.com/. A few Stielow built Camaros had them and they worked great.

I like my TVS, nice ride and great handling, but I'm not saying the DSE springs don't give a nice ride, because I haven't tried them.
They're both good from what I can tell...

Hotchkis springs have the anti friction pads between the leafs too.

I'd say 6 in one, half dozen in the other. Go with what's cheaper IMO.
