the decade system is reasonably priced, but I would rather go with something that is tried tested and true. I've also heard good things about UAS??
I'm new to air, only air ride i've ever had is the stock system in my UCF11

airrunner is one of the originals in modified air suspension.
I am still not a fan of universal air , mainly in part to it being called universal and it costing as much as a full blown complete kit .

Universal = $2000 plus whatever coilovers you prefer
With Megan coilovers your total price = $2800
Those are the best prices I've been quoted shipped.
From my research Universal is more for those who want to ride low all the time and don't mind sacrificing some height when parked. And for those who want to keep some sort of performance suspension feel.
Airrunner will lay frame when parked but doesn't allow you to ride as low on the daily.
I've been seriously considering & researching both sytems. For me I'd go Universal just to keep my coilovers - I love'em.

universal (depending on model) is actually prone to blowing the bag since it rubs on the control arm. (ask chrispy)
airrunner can drive low.
if you want to DRIVE low best bet is coil+ Platinum VIP Phantom Cup kit (on special right now as well)

If installed correctly Universal won't rub. Just ask the many guys running it on VIPStylecars.
Like I said Airrunner doesn't drive 'as' low - at least that's what I was told by a few suppliers.

Knock on wood! Never had a problem with my bags rubbing anything! It's all about the install! I hate to see people waste money on Air Runner! UAS is faster up and Faster down! Lets you pick the coilover or shocks to run! Great Price! Great Kit!

To be honest, I'm happy with the range of height I get out of the stock air ride. If it would raise and lower a bit quicker, i wouldn't be looking into aftermarket air at all. I'm just sick of having to wait 5 mins for it to raise from parking stance to driving stance.
Is there any way to upgrade the stock system?

i'm exaggerating on the time, it doesnt take 5 minutes, more like 1-2min, but i'd like it to raise and lower within at least 20 seconds. also, more dampening would be nice
