Jayco, Roo/Shamrock and Starcraft have been considered the best hybrids made for many years. they sell more than any other brands, so that says something.
the Roo/Shamrock appears to have a double sink, while the other two have a single sink. the Starcraft has a linen cabinet, that the others don't appear to have. but it's heavier and longer than the other two.
bottom line is you can't go wrong with any of them since they are almost all exactly alike. i'd say whatever one you can get the best price from. be sure to get quotes for the Roo from RVW and for the Roo, Shamrock and Jayco from RVDirect. use those quotes for shopping.
i will say that many who've bought one of these, have later wished they had bought the bigger/longer versions with the slideout, like the 233S. you must have a tow vehicle that's not capable of towing anything bigger.
