Default Forge 007 or APR R1?

Alright the question of the century is very straightforward:

Which DV would you rather have -- the piston-based 007 from Forge, or APR's diaphragm-based R1. Both are high-end, both are brand name, and in the end, it really does boil down to preference -- so let's find out what you prefer!

Edit: If you want, go ahead and explain why you picked whichever you did.

warrienty = push
faster response = r1
maintence = r1 (none needed)
adjustablility =r1 (none needed)
durability = 007
proven = 007

I'm on the borderline of deciding between the R1 and the 007. With piston-based DV's, don't you have to periodically (once a year or so) do some maintenance to them?

I have stated it before and ill say it again. The problem is that some were sent out with the wrong spring on the R1. Once it is changed, it performs very well.
