Hotchkis or Brothers?

Just picked up a '71 C10. I need to drop it, but just a static drop no frame notching or airbags. The Hotchkis 4/6 springs were recommended by someone. From what I've read that is pretty much the max drop without notching. This will be a daily driver, rarely will carry a load. I want smooth handling, more like a car than a rough ride truck.

Reading some threads, Brothers was was also recommended, but it appears they only have a max of 3/5 drop. Combined with their shocks I can get springs and shocks for about the same price I can get just the springs for from Hotchkiss.

I'd rather go with the 4/6 and pay a little more to get the extra drop. My question(s) for those who have used the Hotchkis. What shocks are you running with it. Their shocks are a little more than I want to spend and probably a little overboard for my needs. Also is there anything else needed with the Hotchkis like relocator brackets?
