I agree with floor plan being the first consideration. We prioritized that above all else and still haven't seen anything that would make us reconsider our purchase.
We were trying for short as well (typical 24' rear corner bed layout) for many of the same reasons (no toad, national parks, boondocking, ease of maneuvering in cities, etc.). Because we found a floor plan that was better than the typical "24'-ish" (as someone else mentioned, it's never really a 24 or whatever is in the model number) rear corner bed layout for only few inches more, we feel like we hit the jackpot. Our total length is 25'9" and have not had any problem going anywhere. The Chevy chassis available on small coaches is also more comfortable relative to legroom - that was a priority for us that we were fortunate to get on the coach we wanted.
Relative to other priorities, I think I full time bed is key.
