IMO, oil is more important than springs, because springs only control dive......But oil controls both dive AND rise/float.
As for the emulators, they are just a spring-loaded valve that pops open if you hit a pothole. So it theoretically improves the ride and traction over bumps, but they don't affect rebound damping, so your bike will rise/rebound just as much as it did before. Most SV owners "in the know" braise shut the rebound hole in their damper rod. In fact, Traxxion sells a damper rod with the hole braised shut, but you could do it yourself if you want.
