Unless you do expedition touring, you don't need a sprung saddle. When conditions get rough, just unweight your saddle briefly until the bad portions pass. If things are really rough for a longer period, you might want to combine wider/lower pressure tires with a suspension seatpost. For most uses, an unsprung saddle is just fine. Look at all of the mountain bikers who ride hardtails.
