Linears are OK, progressives compromise one end of the travel or another, since the damping cannot change to match the spring rate.
Best results are from either emulators or cartridges.
Most of the gain is in setting it up properly, i.e. the proper weight springs. Go on the racetech website and find out. They have a spring calculator.
There are lots of other bikes shocks which can be fitted which have improved damping as well as a closer spring rate.

Tell him to stop talking balls.
15w and better springs can work very well on the SV.
