I personally would take the full body paint, were looking at replacing ours and the full body paint is an absolute must, with the decals soooner or later your going to have problems...
The Patriot will have gel coat sides with the paint applied to that. The Sahara has Filon sides with pigment mixed in prior to application and will have vinyl decals. In the long run gel coat is going to hold up better than Filon and has a much smoother look to it. If the options were the same my vote would be the Patriot.
