Default Air Lift Performance vs UAS Bags/Megans EZ II

I recently picked up a brand new Air Lift APv2 management system for a really good price and now I'm looking for air struts. I've narrowed them down to either air lift performance series struts or a UAS bag/Megan EZ II set up. Any one have experience with either set ups? I heard the UAS set up will give me more range of motion for airing up and down.

i've ran UAS bags on BC racing coilovers with good performance. any coilovers will do really, but what also works is stock shocks!
UAS bags will fit over stock shocks, or aftermarket shocks while you're in there!

the ride quality will be smoother, but if you want to ride low and park lower, coilovers is the way to go.
airlift struts are good too, if money is not an object.

I build on budgets and I found that I could have done it cheaper with UAS bags with stock or regular struts/shocks!

Thanks timmy0tool, I had your thread bookmarked as my DIY guide when I get to the install.

Any disadvantages to using stock or regular struts/shocks? I'm probably going to drive with the car at most 2-2.5" lower than stock, but I would really like to get back to stock height or more when airing up.

I picked up my APv2 management kit off amazon as an open box item for under $700, though only the main box was open, all the other boxes were still sealed. It was missing the tank, but I messaged amazon and they sent me a 5 gallon one free of charge. I'm off to good start budget wise and it would be great to knock this out for under $2k, but I got room since the APv2 was such a good deal.
