Building on that...
Not sure about overall best lasting, but otherwise... Yep.
Except when they're a pain in the neck because access makes service difficult.
And then sometimes those safety features are attractive, even if not completely critical. An example might be something like thruster batteries installed under the master berth... where avoiding off-gassing might be a welcome benefit.
Comes back to your point about cost... but while that can often be measured in cycles@%DoD... the value of some of the other benefits is more elusive, more personal, more situationally-dependent...
