For what its worth....here is one person's opinion...
Technically the 318's were mostly within tolerance but Newell recognized what when the 365's became available that they offer 1). better weight capacity and 2) better ride. 3) more safety margin. So if you can find a coach with the 365's you will find that the lower air pressure required will translate into a better smoother ride. I would personally look for a coach with the 365 upgrade even if only a two slide.
Almost all the coaches in your age range are 45'. These large coaches need a lot of room to turn around. The ZF suspension with the steerable tag reduce the turning radius A LOT.
I am not aware of any increased maintenance from the steer tags.
The roof airs have a shorter, easier path for the cold air to travel so they work better. Also, they free up storage space in the basement. Also they are easier to maintain / replace. The only downside to roof airs is the jealousy that I have from not having them.
