MII or S10 frame swap for AD truck?

I can't make up my mind. Keep going back and forth trying to decide which way is the better way to go. Each has its pro's and con's. I have both. Ie I have my original frame with an MII crossmember installed (then slightly butchered by me, but nothing a competent fabricator couldn't fix. ie not me), I also have a std cab longbed S10 frame with v8 installed and cab mounts created using plans from Jeff51.

I want a truck that I can reliably drive across the country if I want to. I've read some bad things about MII's tearing the I bolts through the upper A arm mounts, and the fact that special bearings are needed to run the GM rotors isn't something I like.

On the other hand, I don't like the idea of running spacers in the front if I go with the S10 frame.

I'd have this thing done by now if I could just make a decision and stick with it!

Ok, throw your opinions my way! Which is better?
