I personally like my sides trailer. I have a few dings in it from things that jump in the way. The issue with smooth side trailer (fiberglass) is that whatever would ding/dent aluminum sided trailer will crack the side of a fiberglass trailer.

I agree that it may be easier to do a DIY repair on aluminum.
However there are many things like hail that will harm aluminum trailers but will have minimal to no impact on fiberglass trailers.
