Default Ground Control vs. Skunk2 coil-overs???

What are your experiences with these two coil-overs? Which one do you think is better and why?

I currently have Skunk2's but have also heard a lot of good things about Ground Control. I've never had GC's so I'm not too familiar with them. I heard the ride is a lot more comfortable. True?

I also searched Ground Control and it looks like everyone is selling them? hhmmm........

You can very easily get custom-rate springs for the Ground Control, so they are very popular with people who autocross their car, etc.

Stock Skunk is linear rate 500f/400r. Stock GC is progressive (cushier) 325f/285r. Custom-rate GC go as high as the sky and are linear rate.

I use my car for transportation (as opposed to purely racing it), and I wish I still had my GC's that were on my old car. They rode much nicer than the Skunk2's I've got on now.
