Should I replace Stacked Spacer w/ Coilovers or Bilsteins?

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before. There is a post not to far down similar to this, but he's at stock height. I want to replace my front stacked spacers with Coilovers, preferbly Procomp b/c Fabtechs won't match my truck. I want to get rid of the stiff ride I have now. WIth the coilovers cranked up to get 8"s of lift up front will it ride better than using the Bilsteins? I rather the way coilovers look, but don't want to spend 1k if it'll give me the same ride as the Bilsteins.

The adjustable Pro Comp coilovers will probably be valved stiffer to handle the added weight of larger tires. The OEM repalcement Bilstiens would be better than stock for sure, but I think the larger coilover will be better because I assume you will be running a tire larger than a 35x12.50.
