Gas shocks are considered better and are usually more expensive. They use pressurized nitrogen to absorb shock, as opposed to hydraulic which uses an oil. The oil in a hydraulic shock may foam under heavy use and lose efficiency.

What is the difference between hydro shocks and nitro shocks?
Hydraulic and gas charged shocks have the same amount of oil, the difference is the gas charge. A hydraulic shock has equal amounts of dampening force in both directions. Gas charged shocks usually are pressurized with Nitrogen. Hydraulic shocks have a tendency to fade as the oil heats up and gets agitated by the shock, creating air bubbles. These air bubbles cause the shocks dampening ability to fade. The nitrogen charge keeps the air bubbles under control, so they can not affect the shocks performance. A gas shock will extend on its own due to the gas charge. General rule of thumb is that hydraulic shocks ride better, nitrogen charged shocks are stiffer, but last longer and don't have shock fade problems.
Is Gas better than hydraulic shock?

Can a 20002 GMC Yukon XL with autoride use regular gas shocks?
A 2002 GMC Yukon XL with autoride can use regular gas shocks. However, they are not recommended for use on the autoride, instead you should use autoride gas shocks.
Do diesel trucks get better gas mileage than regular gas trucks?
Yes, diesel trucks generally get much better gas mileage than regular gas trucks. They even sometimes get better gas mileage than hybrid trucks.
Is gas heating better than oil?
is gas cheaper than oil
why is water gas a better fuel than producer gas?
Water gas is highly combustible than producer gas
Does Hydraulic Fracturing for natural gas affect seismic activity?
yes hydraulic fracturing of natural gas does effect seismic activity.
Would water be better then gas?
No, gas would be better. Gas can be used in many productive machines. The efficiency ratio of Work to pollution is better for gas than water.
What happens when you mix hydraulic fluid with gas?
How much hydraulic fluid with how much gasoline makes a big difference and was some hydraulic oil mixed into the gas tank or was some gasoline mixed with the hydraulic tank. More info please.
