What to buy
If you had all the money in the world and wanted a 30 foot MH. What would you buy?

I would not buy a 30 foot motorhome. For a Class C, the rig would be at the higher end of the GVWR weight, reducing the amount of people and stuff it could carry (OCCC). Options like slide outs, leveling jacks, and assorted eye-candy would further limit its ability to carry a load. Now, depending on how you plan to use it, the weight issue may not be a factor.
A 30 foot Class A does not offer much more room than the C, but *could* provide more weight capacity. But, one needs to be careful with weight in a short A as well. Our experience has been some of the A units we toured at an RV show would be overloaded with just the four adult members of our family on board, without stuff. A short A most likely will use the same engine and tranny as the C, so not much benefit there.
For me, I would go with a shorter C or a longer A diesel pusher. We like longer trips of multiple weeks and months, and need to carry a lot of clothes, food, and stuff. Decide how you will use the rig, then decide.
