Spring:
Pros
1) Cheep(er)
2) High FPS
Cons
1) loud
2) difficult to cock back at high fps and remain prone
Gas:
Pros
1) Quiet
2) Easy to cock
Cons
1) Rarer (?)
2) temperature sensitive
AEG:
Pros
1) Can modofy from existing gun
2) full auto last ditch capability
Cons
1) Loud
2) Expensive(?)

allow me.
Spring:
Pros
1) initially Cheaper ( upgrades will bring the cost way up)
2) fps consitency (renders more accurate shots)
3) gameable in all weather conditions
Cons
1) loud
2) difficult to cock back at high fps and remain prone
3) can get expensive.
4) extensive modification needed to get a 300 fps sniper shooting 500 fps (zero trigger, tightbore, hop-up, spring, sears, spring guides, cylinder etc.)
Gas:
Pros
1) Quiet
2) Easy to cock
3) relatively affordable (KJW M700)
4) power adjustable (whether it be adjusting power from using different gases or tuning the hammer spring strength)
5) out-of-the-box performance.
Cons
1) less shot consistency (varying temperatures, and gas system used)
2) can be expensive also. (tanaka)
3) not gameable in winter
there are goods and bads about different guns. for example, the Gspec has a excellent hop up design but the short barrel length and light weight body are the short comings. The KJW M700 has excellent power and feel to it (texture, weight etc) but has inferior qc control and may need some fine tuning for it to run desirably. IMO spring setup is the way to go. spend time fine tuning your BA and it will serve you well.
you can't really compare snipers with aegs they fit totally different roles; unless its the G3 SG1 you're talking about.
