Co2 is less consistant so you'll get velocity fluxuation more than air.
Co2 is a lot colder than air, so when shooting fast (ie 15+bps) the marker is prone to freezing - ive witnessed the foregrip go icy.
Air is cleaner
You'll get more shots out of an air tank
You'll eventually end up buying an air system if you upgrade from the imp
So really, air is better in the long run :)

As for a hopper, if you have fast(ish) fingers then go for an Y board Egg - more than capable. If not go for a revvy.

I'd buy a seal kit and a tube of savlon too then - cold burns baaad!

CO2 for some reason tends to be more efficient on impulses - dont ask why, but pros to cons, Air is the far better option, its also an upgrade you can take with you to other markers. if your not playing competition i would put it first over your loader - providing your not seriously giving your marker welly (which you wouldnt be able to do running co2 without sticking to your maxflo) a revi would happily feed it
