So i guess it comes down to which system has the lightest weight, best reliability, is the most durable, and the most aerodynamic. I dont know for certain about which is the best weight, reliability or durability...but retracted wheels are most aerodynamic.

AH, but some people reckon they can be just as draggy as the hole in the wing produces alot of drag, it was in the CHIP hyde forum, they all have fixed now. Gets the wheels away from the wing.
