I have gone from spring to KW V3 coilovers for my G37S
If you are just after looks, spring is economical compared to coil-overs.
But if you are considering performance, balance, and longevity of your tire. Go for Coil-overs.
Compared to any aftermarket springs, in terms of performance and balance. Your stock G37S springs are much better. You will encounter damping problem with after market springs. The rear will shift slightly when you turn hard with after market springs. Setup on your stock G37S, front sits much higher than rear. This is because in transition from G35 to G37, to accommodate heavier engine. Engineers at Nissan made front higher in comparison to the rear of the car.
With coil-overs especially KW V3, you can adjust Damping, height, and stiffness of the ride. Giving you better handling and balance compared to Aftermarket springs. Yet Keeping same stock setting of front and rear height ratio. Without loosing balance of your G37S.
I can not disclose vendor of my KW V3, but I bought brand new for $1650. Springs should be in the range of $400 to $600 brand new. Consider getting your car right from the start. I did regret wasting money on Springs, installation charge, and most of all. I regret loosing handling of stock G37S.
Most important make sure to get Front Camber KIT. As you may already know.
Don't make same mistake I did.

But I've got a quick question. How come many people lower on eibach pro kit say they didn't need a camber kit, just get a good alignment?

You are making it sound like springs DECREASE performance over the stock springs, which is entirely not true. My springs are firmer than the stock sport springs and lower the center of gravity. My car rebounds faster over bumps and has much lower body lean when taking turns faster compared to stock springs.
