That's an awesome question Derpy. Springers have a visceral quality that makes them very satifying. But from a pure power standpoint, flywheels are awesome. It's funny, two of my favorite blasters are the RapidStrike and the Rampage.

The obvious advantage of springers is the surprise attack potential. It's almost impossible to sneak up and spray combatants with a flywheel. And forget sniping. But a flywheel blaster with an upgraded battery, improved flywheel, and decent sized drum is an awesome weapon. My new Stryfe is a lot of fun.

So I suppose it depends quite a bit on your play style. If you're a sniper or an attacker, get a springer. If you're a defender, get a flywheel. I've admitted before, my favorite blaster is a CycloneShock adapted for Elites. I love the sounds, the speed, and the range. It's not really a springer or a flywheel, but it's a blast ;-)
