still i like emulsion most the time for 1/10... the reason is inconsistent fit the track. i can run a lighter oil and not bottom out from the shock or over rebound from the spring. kinda like having a dual rate spring (which i hate dual rate spring especially in rear trying to kick too much) but as a shock it works great.
like the test show bladder with foam is real consistent which is a good pick on a track where you have similar conditions from start to finish(for sure what i would pick for onroad) this is also what i like most the time for 1/8 buggy i guess because i run higher oil and having more weight the 1/8 conditions dont change as much as the smaller 1/10 on the same track.
