When I got my F20 I didn't like the wheel designs that went with the non-runflat tyres so I made sure to test drive cars with runflats and with the stories of the abysmal ride of the first generation runflats ringing in my ears I was pleasantly surprised by the ride and comfort even with me turning to the salesperson and asking for the nearest speed bumps.

I'd say test both and see what you think of them. Also look at the replacement costs for each type of tyre. The dealer, while trying to sell me tyre insurance, went to some lengths to explain that runflats are stiffer and have less give in them so are more likely to puncture.
