Opinions 2nd vs 3rd Gene Fbody suspensions

[Rusty G]

Say you were looking at building a low buck project where function wins over form.

Can be rough around the edges but handles like it is on rails.

Which front suspension is a "better" place to start from.

Which rear suspension is "better".

Would a hybrid be a logical choice, 2nd front with a 3rd gene rear or visa versa?

Keep in mind the cost to put each on an equal playing field as well as how hard (Labor) it is to get there.

Assume both cars cost the same to start and have similar drivetrains so the only "difference" are thier suspensions.

Also understanding that common parts will being replaced on both anyway, rims, tires, strut/shock, springs etc.
