drop spindles or lower control arms

I'm using a 95 S10 frame for a '50 chevy car I'm building. I'm whating to know which is a better way to lower the front. drop spindles or controls arms. I've used spindles on cars in the past but never control arms. What are the pros and cons.

THanks

I forgot to add. I installed a mopar 383 big block so the front dropped about 2 inches. not nearly enough. Those 4 cyl springs are stiffer than I thought.

I'd just use the spindles since they keep the steering geometry pretty much the same... plus the fact that you probably haven't had any problems with them before.
