Musicman I have driven both flavors there is a little trade off for you to consider.
Noise is the primary concern. In most rear models the bed is over the engine. If you have a driver and are trying to sleep between stops so you can work/play when you arrive you may consider the front motor a benefit. If this is used as the average family taking a trip and ever want to communicate while driving make darn sure you get a rear mounted engine. :)
Really it is a big deal driving down the road. I think the may be an advantage or two from having a shorter driveshaft and the associated maintenance, but I could be wrong.
