Speakers: Kicks vs. Doors

[muddpile]

I'm getting ready to tear down and rebuild my truck into a nice daily driver, and am at the point where I need to decide what to replace the radio with. I will be putting a really nice CD/MP3 deck in, and will amp all speakers rather than use the deck amp, but I haven't decided where to put the speakers. The kick panels seem to be good for a number of reasons:
1. No real cutting involved
2. Good place for imaging

But also bad:
1. Easy to kick
2. Potential problem with E-brake, dimmer and side vents (maybe able to modify)

Then we have the positives of the doors:
1. Bigger speaker (6x9) will fit
2. Kept away from feet
3. No interference with any vehicle functions

Again, also some negatives:
1. Have to cut (not a big deal to me though)
2. Not so good imaging
3. Risk of getting wet (I will build a rain hood for them with those plastic bucket things)

Any more input? Thanks!
