Default Skunk2 or ground control coilovers?

I researched both of these coil-overs and wanted to know some pro's and cons about them. I see that the ground control cost more, but i would rather pay more and do it right the first time. so what do you guys think. Oh and this setup would be for daily driving.

I am looking to get new suspension for my 97 Accord, and I am still confused on what I need.

I was looking at GC coilovers with Eibach springs. Is that all I would need to lower my car and make it handle a bit better?

Thanks

EDIT: I also noticed that some people are saying to get just springs if you want the lowered look, but better ride quality. I wouldn't say money is an issue, but I don't want to sacrifice ride quality, or efficiency. The car is daily driven, but I am hard on my car.

Would a good set up springs and shocks be better for my car opposed to coilovers? I just bought a set of SSR Professor SP1's for my car, so I want it to look clean, without all the wheel gap.
