All of the high end rigs being considered use Aqua Hot or similar hydronic heating systems which do a wonderful job of heating the coach and providing unlimited hot water (assuming you are on full water hook up).

As far as chassis, I know a lot of people slam the Freightliner chassis. As already noted, most any of the chassis under a DP will last many years if properly maintained. Those with IFS and more air bags and bigger frame rails will surely ride better and flex less. Our previous coach, a 2002 Winnebago Journey, was on a FL XC chassis. It had 84,000 miles on it when we traded it and there was nothing wrong with the chassis. It ran, rode and drove very well for what was an entry-level DP.
