#3 - I also have the Lippert 6-point level system. I carry 2 sets of Lynx pads plus one other set that has a larger footprint. Plastic is lighter, stores easier (in it's zippered bag) and is easier to keep clean. Wood absorbs water - plastic does not.
I use the large footprint pads whenever I have to set up on grass/dirt to spread the weight better. You can then stack the smaller Lynx pads on top of them if needed.
