    BTW, we're looking at the ~ 12' size in both.>

    We have about 50 of each brand in service and they are about equal. Niether
    are perfect but they're boats so they couldn't be ;-)

    Personally we've had them all including Avons who used to be the best, not
    so sure now. We currently have a 4.70M VST AB which is 4 years old. Prior we
    had a 1990 4.0M AVON Sea rider which is still in good shape after 14 years
    in the tropics!

    I can say that none of the PVC brands hold up at all, only the ones
    constructed of Hypalon.

    YMMV
