I would say that the Casita would last longer given the amount of care that most RVers give their vehicles.
The Starcraft would probably last just as long if you were very careful to maintain it correctly and especially to prevent any water leaks. Most people do not take the necessary time and effort to do that.
The Casita has no roof seams to worry about and also does not have a separate roofing material. It is basically a top and bottom fibreglass shell like a boat and therefore has fewer chances to leak. You still must check the roof penetrations however.
You might check out the Escape trailers for another fibreglass trailer. They might be a bit more expensive than the Casita but would be the one I would choose.
Hope this helps you out a bit.:)
