thedavidzoo, no matter which RV you get you will compromise, but you get the pick on what you want gain/lose. On the plus side, you can trade again if your needs change or you want different tradeoffs.
Interesting that you left Host and Lance off your list though. I suggest a road trip to the Northwest to see many units of the brands in person. Also, as far as fit/finish goes, RVs are individually made. What you want is a solid design, but an individual unit that has been gone over by you that has flaws you can deal with. Don't be afraid to buy used. Most RVs are hardly used. The bonus is it's in your truck, so barring a catastrophic failure, at most it will be annoying if the one you buy has a flaw.
Sorry if this is insulting, but your reviews of the models seems superficial. I suggest choosing a floorplan you can live with and go from there. All of the major camper manufacturers that are still in business are capable of producing good units, but it won't matter if they are perfectly built and not have the floorplan you need. The usability varies wildly by changing just a few design factors.
We wanted something that had a very open floorplan and light colors. One of my friends wanted the opposite. We were willing to tradeoff a dry bath for more floor space. There isn't a right answer ... only your compromises.
