I would say that coilovers are better than sway and strut bars, because the suspension will dictate the majority of the stability of the car. They will determine the roughness of the ride and ride hight. I've never heard that strut bars no matter how strong making the car ride rougher, indicating a hard suspension. That's because strut and sway bars are made to help control the body roll of the car. Not that won't help but you can adjust so much more in the coilovers to get a much better response than a strut or sway bar. Like, ride height, damper bound and rebound...
