It depends on how often you plan to adjust them and the road conditions where you live. If you want to adjust them easily they need to be kept clean, especially if you have salted roads in winter.

Set the ride height conservatively then, get the car cornerweighted and align - and proceed to drive the snot out of it! It's a fit-and-forget if you do it that way...
