Help me know what kind of camper to look for.
We currently own a 2004 Flagstaff 176LTD pop-up. We bought it used about 4 or 5 years ago and have loved it, but we would like to move away from the pop-up to a regular type camper. The biggest reason...

You might also look at the three smaller Lance models: 1475, 1575 and 1685. They're lightweight, easy to tow, and great construction. You might also look at Coachman, as a brand they're also a step above the rest. Both Coachman and Lance use Azdel, Coachman to a lesser degree, but the build quality on Coachman will give you many years of happiness.
I'd stay away from mass produced Forest River & also Jayco. Since Jayco was bought by Thor, they've lost any quality they may have had at some point! And Forest River, I've never heard anything positive about them (they're owned by billionaire Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway fame, etc)
I do agree with Dutchman Sport about his checklist of things to look at in which order. I'm going to say though, that quality of build is much more important than floor layout. Within any manufacturer, you'll find a layout that is going to work, but every manufacturer isn't the same - Build Wise, so keep that in mind.
