tien vs tanabe coilovers

I'm thinking about purchasing either the Tien Basic coilovers or the Tanabe spec2. I was wondering which one has the better ride and handling. I don't want a set of coilovers that bounces alot. I'm also curious which coilovers will have the lowest drop. I would really appreciate it if some of you can give me some pointers on which one to purchase.

well in general the lower you set the coilovers the ____tier the ride will be.

For comfort, TEIN basics are the choice amongst peeps. I have the TEIN basics, and Ken has the Cusco, while Na'im has HKS. Both say my TEINs are more comfortable ridewise. Although, they can go lower.
