Default Coils or Leafs?

What are the pros and cons of a coil suspension. Going to do a SAS on my 2000 ford ranger 4wd. And I'm not sure if I want to go to leaf suspension and wonder if it's a very difficult job to convert front and rear to a coil suspension. Any help would be great.

Depending on what you plan to do with your truck after the sas, I would consider front coils and leaving the back as leafs and just replacing and upgrading the leaf pack.

After my sas I'm going to lift it. Won't the mismatch of leafs and coils mess up my lift? And I mean I couldn't by a lift from a dealer and it won't fit.
