Hi Gjac,
You may have read my long-winded reply in the past over this subject matter. If so, then you already know my opinion. Given your list of candidates, I would place the seamless fiberglass front overhang as your highest priority and let the other deficiencies fall behind it. Nothing is worse than water damage..."PERIOD"....and a seamless frontal area addresses the worst of such a threat.
Yes Ron I read your very informative post and agree from a design stand point a one piece FG cap is the best design, the only issue is the one piece C's I have seen have very little outside storage which is also important to me. So now the trade off is a partial front cap or being very diligent about water intrusion and caulking to get a large rear pass tru storage bay. I caulk my roof once a year now anyways, so to me that is not a major inconvenience. I still wonder if the overheads that hold 750Lbs rather than 350lbs are a structurally better design? It would seam so.
