My 09 Has Air Ride.. and has about 4 K miles. It has a nice smooth ride. I've been off road with it and it does help with articulation from left to right as well as adding 2 inchs to the rear for departure angle.
Not recomended to use for towing...just for raising you ass end up if you need the clearenace off raod. Some guys have replaced the bags with the stock springs rather then put money into repair if out of warranty.
Me... I Like it ...I bought and extra extended warranty..I don't have to worry for the next 7 years or 65 K miles.
I say go with the air ride ..if it blows down the road... replace with the springs. If you go with the spring equipped SUT... You'll still enjoy the ride..and performancen off road...Either way ..your get-en a great rig.
