Before that I would look for the WH chassis with the Alison transmission. Also look at things like FW capacity, storage, and CCC. These things are more important to me that the type of roof it has especially storage and the CCC if you plan to fulltime for a couple of years. If you plan to camp in NP's, NFS, SP's CG's without full hook ups them FW, black and grey tank capacities are important also. What sort of mods are you anticipating to make?
Optimization of the rooms is probably the biggest bit. How the furniture is laid out and space is used inside. My wife has a notion that she'd like me to make a shower bigger, or find something with a tub/jacuzzi -- but that seems rather rare. As much as I've looked at the plumbing on these too, I don't see me getting around to messing with that.
One of her biggest requests is to make the shower feel like a 'real shower' (tile it or something instead of the little plastic nonsense). Which I can certainly do if the thing can support it in a way without destroying the whole thing.
