Again, space limitations suggest small high efficiency 12 volt panels, but they are going to cost you. GS100s are 40.8" x 20.7". As has been said before you will pick up considerable space as the panels are elevated over 3". Ideally, one big 24 volt panel can be better than two smaller 12 volt panels. However, RVs and boats with limited space on top are probably the biggest market for 100 watt 12 volt panels.
The shading issues with panels in parallel or series is dependent upon bypass diode implementation in and amongst the panels.
