also depends on what you are planning on using the car for and how much you want to spend. If it's a daily driver I would go springs. If you want max drop but don't care about ride quality or scraping over every speed bump go coilovers. good coilovers are $400. crappy ones for under $100... real crappy. springs for $125-$200. The "adjustability" of coilivers can also make your tires wear quicker due to the camber being changed when you raise or lower it. Might consider that too.
