    I would pick the one YOU can live with EVERY day. I have a MGM, so I may be bias. I have not had an issue with my paint. Nor have I personally seen any MGM with bad paint. (I work at a Toyota dealer) But I have seen several BBP and SW trucks with paint issues.

    All the things!
    I've seen relatively few examples of MGM with clearcoat issues... keeping in mind that MGM has been around since 2005 (I think) and BBP was only available from 2016 to 2018 (I think). So a 19 year span vs a 3 year span.

    Simply the type of paint Toyota uses today,nothing but cheap garbage paint,not totally Toyota's fault since the better paint was banned for use awhile ago.
