When it comes to ride(suspension) there is some confusion.

The following is the ride comfort if the correct lb/in spring is used.(best to worse).
1. torsion bar
2. large diam. coils
3.leaf
4. coil overs.

Thus the S-10 should give a fairly good ride. The problem is people try to put S-10 frames under cars where there is a mismatch in the track.
