Default AIR FX versus shotgun shocks

I'm planning on buying some air shocks, for my bike. While doing research, I've come to the conclusion that the best choices are either, Air FX or Shotgun shocks. Has anybody had experienced whether either of these shocks. If so I would like to get your feedback.

Smile Air FX vs Shotgun Shock Update

I had the Shotgun Shock Air Ride System installed on my bike, Thursday. Best Decision I Ever Made! This system made my bike the most comfortable bike I have ever been on. Aside from solving my bottoming out problem, I was able to adjust a dampening to where I wanted to on-the-fly. It's now easy to adjust the bike to just the ride I like, whether just me alone or me and the ol' lady. Damn did it but a smile on my face.

I talked to the guy that invented the Shotgun set-up and he showed me how his system is differnt than everyone elses. A very nice feature is that you could rip the airline right off the shocks and it will still hold air.
Here he is:
