coilover system vs. struts and springs

i have a 94 si and ive been kicking around the idea of either coilover system(not just the springs) or a set of struts and springs. Ive found that the struts and springs are nearly twice as inexpensive as the cheapest coilover system. I was wondering how yall think the two compare. Im not trying to build a race car i just want a nice clean ride that handles like a dream. I could buy the struts and springs now but id have to wait a couple of months for the coilovers. What do yall think?

And keep in mind that the type of struts and springs you get determines the kind of ride you'll get. You get what you pay for.
