Air:
Pros: Light weight, good at corner and handling, stiff
Cons: It might leak, bumpy, expensive usually, cannot taken large jumps or continous bumps
Spring (coil):
Pros: takes every bump you get ==> less bumpy, more reliable, less worries
Cons: Heavy, usually softer then air so corner at high speed isn't as good
