Is it better to use dropped spindles or an adjustable beam?

Some have mentioned that the adj. beam will give a stiffer ride, but I believe that's something I'll do anyways, right? So does it really matter then? Or does the rides geometry really suffer? And it's still better to go dropped spindles and then stiffen it?

thanks

actually your very best bet is dropped spindles and an adjustable beam.
because you can lower it 2.5" with the spindles and then dial in the exact drop you want with the beam and not have to worry about it being to still if you drop the beam all the way like you would with just the beam alone.

Ditto. Plus, lowering with just the beam will affect the steering geometry and required lowered shocks that have less travel.
