Control arms vs. spindles

For the guys using either the DJM dropped control arms or the Belltech dropped spindles, what do you think about them. Tim I know you are using the control arms, I havent heard of many people with the dropped spindles, but I'm thinking about using one or the other and I'm just trying to do some research

The spindles are a pain to work with if you have big brakes (at least with my TCE Wilwoods) or if you are trying to use the factory wheels. However, they work great once installed and cause no real negative effect on handling, like bump steer. The main problem with the control arms would be bump steer. Install hassle is about the same for both. Most control arms have urethane bushings which helps the responsiveness of the suspension.
