Default BIG BORE or small bore shocks?

I have both big and small bore shocks that can be used on my Cat SX that I run indoors in carpet. Currently I'm using small bore but with a mish mash of springs that are not all Schumacher (the front are TC springs). I was therefore thinking of buying a spring tuning set to standardise things, so my question is would you invest in a small or big bore set?

I'd go with big bore springs, also on the small bore shocks, so u can switch springs between your small bore and big bore shocks.
If i remember correctly, schumacher uses big bore springs on small bore shocks for quit a longer time with great success, so you cant go wrong with that!

Edit: Stay with the SB shocks, what i've seen, Jorn Neumann and Michal Orlowsky prefere small bore shock on indoor carpet tracks, i think its because of shock pack!?

That's great, thank you. Makes total sense as the BB springs will be transferable
