Braces and springs

I know there are a lot of factors, but in general, if a chassis is more stiff (because of bracing, welding, aging...) will it work better with stiffer springs or with softer ones?
I mean, does a spring has to be stiffer to compensate the chassis flex, or does it have to be stiffer to sustain the bigger forces of a stiffer chassis?

Stiffer chassis softer springs. A saying from a friend Bullet Race cars/chassis too long ago to remember his gears name
