Simple spring you can't change height. Coilover ability to change height, adjust damper and custom spring rate. Most spring are progressive while coilover are linear which is better.

Spring is easy for moderate drop, and fairly cheap. Coils are a lot more expensive than just springs, however depending on what you're buying you may want to save a little more and buy higher quality coilovers as cheaper coilovers will give you a harsher ride than you're used to.

I haven't seen a ride that looks to my liking that wasn't coils but it's up to you. Just the way it looks, coils are the way to go but what are you looking for?
