Default Solo seat,, Springs Vs, Mini Shocks?

I'm looking into a solo seat and have seen these Mini Shock Springs. I'm kind of a throwback guy. So I'm throwing it out there anybody got any preferences between plain Springs or Mini Shocks for a solo seat...Later

I found an in-depth discussion about it here: http://hondachopper.yuku.com/reply/1...at-shocks.html

Apparently, if you don't angle the springs correctly (be it spring or shock) it makes a huge difference. Also, you're hinge has to be solid with no wiggle room. (The last guy posting on that thread has done all the research, check his post out).
