Progressive...best by far.

progressive...spring rate increases with the amount of the spring that is comperssed.(best all around performance)

linear... spring rate remains constant though the entire spring.(would cause you to bottom out around town..unless you used an excessively stiff spring)

linear is better for consistent handling on the road course.

But progressive would be better for a daily driver correct?
