Hmmmm that choice is mainly personal preference.  Storage isn't that much of a difference unless you are a real pack rat.  Set up is not that different espcially with 5ers now having auto level systems and key fob remotes to push a button on to do everything from extending slides and extending jacks.  Although it was nice to pull in in a rain storm and just press the button from the drivers seat to level up and never have to get out untill morning.  The 5ers may be a little more home like with slides on both sides now, it's hard to find an A with 2 recliners and a desk etc.  And as far as a vehicle to drive, some prefer the small cars or jeeps toads, but others drive our trucks cause at home it was our daily driver too.  Also you have to look at repair and up keep.  Tires and repairs are more costly on an A  You can't pull into just any local garage for repairs.  So the best thing to look at is your interior space, cause that is where you will spend most of your time.  Once you find an interior you can live in then branch out to storage and vehicles and setup to see you you can make it work.....When you ask these kind of questions you will always get those who think their rig is the best choice and anyone who wants something different is dumb.  I have had both and both have their advantages and disadvantages...I just prefer the 5th wheel although I we just part time.
