Default Budget boost: shackles vs. add a leaf

Planning on going with one of rusty's budget boost packages. The two options are either the kit that has shackles in the back

or the add-a-leaf kit

Thoughts opinions, tips on which one is the way to go?

Just put RUSTYS 2" LIFT W/ AAL and COILS.Sitting at 19.5 in rear and 20" up front. Looks real nice.Just got a little drive train vibration when i get on the pedal hard from start to 30 MPH. I needed to change U joints before lift . For a hundred bucks i can change both u joints and shaft balanced.
