might help to mention what year / which manual transmission you are asking about.
In general, the sprung hub will be a little quieter and perhaps smoother on the street. In a ZF6 application, the dual mass flywheel allows for the use of a solid hub disc, since the dual mass is absorbing the vibrations and noise. When using a solid flywheel in front of a ZF6, a spring hub disc is suggested to help with that increase in noise/vibration due to the loss of the dual mass flywheel.

The previous owner of my 2gen camaro installed solid hub clutch to it because the solid hub supposed to be "race". It was 100% PITA. I have driven cars with multi disc clutches, sprung sinter clutches, kevlar clutches you name it. But personally I totally HATE solid hub clutches in street car. You have zero advantage of using them and the amount of chattering and increased wear is just pita.
