The gap between coil over vs air is closing rapidly. The stiction thing, for instance, is basically a non-issue now for today's air shocks with the use of syn gear oil for the air chamber lube (G Man tip of the day). You really do need to consider service too. Air shocks can get by with an air-sleeve maintenance every year (oil change as needed) which can be done easily at home. OTOH you'll need to get your coil shocks charged with Nitrogen EVERY year and most of us don't have a tank or filling tools which means packing them up and sending them back again and AGAIN (NO THANKS - been there, done that)! And if you're a big hucker, air shocks, with their more progressive finish, are a better option.
Have FUN!
