I voted for the ideal spring and the mid-range valving. I have only six months experience with motorcycles, but here's my opinion anyway.

From what I understand, from this forum, is that the valving is speed sesitive and the spring is position sensitive. The spring it seems would keep the suspension higher or lower in the stroke than the valving would. By using a soft spring it would allow the suspension to ride lower in the stoke reducing the amount of travel. A heavy spring would ride higher thus increasing travel. With less travel (soft spring) the valving would have to be stiffer to reduce bottoming, with more travel (heavy spring) the valving could be tamer, for the same level rider.

I would think, for a novice, the soft spring would be good because they would not be using all the travel anyway. Even the valving could be softened. But for a seasoned rider the soft spring would be very harsh because they would use the travel causing the valving to be harsh to keep from bottoming.
