Your lifestyle dictates what works for you, along the number of people normally traveling with you.
That said, take a look at Born Free, all fiberglass, great build, smaller than most, but to my thinking not really for families. Cost can a bit more than others new and used, they do their own marketing, factory direct as Lazy Daze does.
Before we bought our small motorhome (R-Vision B+)in 2012 for an Alaska trip, one of my biggest concern was seams in the body at the front of the unit over the cab. So we looked at RV's with one piece fiberglass caps in that area. We've owned two "C"s, both had problems with leaks over the cab. My brother in law has also had two "C"s, one a Newmarr and the current one a Four Winds (Thor) bought new. Both had to have the front and floor of the cab over sleeping area rebuilt, the Four Winds at under three years and it is garaged when not in use.
Another item we looked for, was the amount of leg-room in the passenger seating area of the cab. I'm a "Ford" guy, but bought a "Chevy" based that requirement. Each person has their own needs.
