So in other words, if I were to use my rig as a daily driver I should just go with the pucks. I have no intention on getting a winch in the near future, or so I tell myself, so for now the leveling kit is the best option for me. I do go on the occasional trails, but it's not every weekend. I think I'm still leaning towards the larger springs for the benefit of having them in the long run.

Budget boosts are really underrated IMHO... I think many people on the forum want to validate their more expensive purchase by putting them down but I have seen people wheel budget boosts no problem.
If you only want 33 I would get a leveling kit. If you keep you stock shocks that will limit your down travel so you won't need to replace your front driveshaft. You can go pucks or new coils. Coils will give you a slightly better ride but there is nothing wrong pucks.
If you want to go with 35 s that's when I would look into the 2.5 kit. There is a guy in my local jeep club that ran the rc budget boost with 35s for years and had no problems. The nice thing about all these kits is if you decide in a few months you don't like it, you can easily sell them for 70-80% of what you paid for it if you ever decide to upgrade.
