If you never had one or the other just comment on the one you know about....I wouldn't have a roof air unit----they look funny hanging on a low tree limb. Yes basement units as a rule have 2 compressors (mine does) My basement unit is ducted through the ceiling (won't freeze my ankles) has been serviced regular by my house a/c man without a problem and I can't hear it running. I guess mine is a heat pump because the heat is down there also but comes out of the floor ducts. I don't use the storage bays so that don't matter either......decisions!
In 8.5 yrs. of motorhoming, I've never seen a roof-air shroud caught in a tree.
I'm sure both type units work well. We were parked next to a basement unit in east Arkansas that was rather loud. The evening was nice where we wanted our windows open. The basement unit next to us was roaring. I'm sure the occupants were happy but I've never heard a roof air run that loud. Yours might be quieter.
