I think in the final analysis, it comes down to the type of wheeling you do. When I did my poll, and the Detroit was the winner, I noticed that a lot of the Detroit proponents did a fair amount of rock crawling. I live in the SF Bay area and a lot of guys who spend most of their time doing the Rubicon and Hollister SVRA pretty much all stick with the Detroit. I was leaning that direction except that I probably won't ever do the Rubicon, and even Hollister is iffy.
My rig will see a broad variety of conditions. It will drive long highway distances to Nevada to Bodie, Carson City, Elko, even to Utah to wheel. I may take it up to the snow in the winter. Most of my wheeling is offroad exploration. I wanted to be able to have locked front when I needed it, but not get squirrely in other conditions. I'd look seriously at what you are going to do with your rig.
