Leaf springs or 4 link?

[PDW HOTRODS]

I know this could go in the suspension catagory, but this is 53 specific. I have a 53 1/2 ton short bed that will be a daily driver. It has a 78 malibu front end, but i am leaning toward leaf spring rear. Right now it has the stock rear leafs ,-2 , with a 10 bolt. I have not driven this yet. This set up wasn't going to stay, just untill I decide what to use. The new leaf setup looks cheapr than 4 link, so that looks good, but would the 4 link be much better. I won't be hauling a lot, but will sometimes. Also might occasionaly tow a trailer. Thanks.
