The V-shapes are probably stronger, yes... but both designs are strong enough -- although the clearance to shock springs on the V-shapes is very tight, and almost rubs the shockcovers. Also, you may want to drill a 1/4" drainhole in the bottom plate / lowpoint of the V-shapes, to prevent pocketing water and rust there. I drill them and give a shot of glossblack hammerite there.
As for offset wheels, does anyone really WANT to track narrower?

Actually yes. I am already considering going to 4/1 fronts with stock arms for XC.

Those are the same joints ASR uses for their upgraded bottoms. Big time pricey. http://www.cannondaleriders.com/vbb/showth...=&threadid=8698
