I don't like to scratch springs, e.g. with stone media.
I'd try steel shot, say .22 to .38 diameter.

What is the spring material, hardness, and thickness? Mechanical deburring with a radiussing type tool would be a better choice. Shot blasting or shot tumbling may only peen or fold over the burr and cause unpredictable stress risers.
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

My former employer made a sheetload of SAE 6150 Bellevilles. They were de-burred in a vibratory media (stones that looked like pieces of Purina Cat Chow ). The de-burr process was about 2 hours long in order to round the stamped edges to a radius. But, in consideration of Mike's concerns, they were shot peened after de-burr.
