depends what you are after really! different for every application!

if you just want to pull up and drop it, air is probably the easier option.

if you want to lay and play, hittin switches all day, hydraulics work better for this, IMO.

the winner for me is the sound, you cant beat the sound of hydraulics when you hit a switch. zzeet zeet :D

ride quality all depends on installation! if its thrown together with no real care you probably wont get a great result.

price - generally second hand hydraulic kits are cheaper to get hold of if you can find one! but new kits there isnt alot of difference really.
