Speaking from experience go with spindles. I've ran just about every static drop component you can think of and by far the best ride is with spindles.

Drop springs suck. They handle better, but they are much more uncomfortable. Control arms aren't bad, but DJM balljoints are crap.

McGaughy's or Belltech make quality stuff. You can't really go wrong with either. I personally ran the McGaughy's 17+ spindles. I loved them, others will tell you to just go ahead and do the extra work to run the 16"+ spindles.

Short answer though any of McGaughy's or Belltech's new spindles will be fine. Just avoid the Belltech 2505 spindles. They're about 5 year old technology now, but some people still sell them.
