Dinghy: Rollup or Slat?

We just sold our not-compatible-with-our-boat RIB. That said, we're in the market for a new dinghy, this time it will be inflatable with a hard aluminum floor(sorry we're not interested in a inflatable floor). What we don't know is which is a better for us because we don't know much about either. We are looking for a 9-11' in hypalon and we have a 8hp two stroke to put it on. We would like to bring it inside when on passage. Hang on the side of the hull with a halyard or on deck when at anchor.

Do the rollup floors stay on the dinghy when deflated, as in, does the whole boat roll up with the aluminum floor? Can the come out and rollup separate? Does the slat aluminum floor come in and out easily? Are rollup rigid or as rigid as a slat floor?

Among those questions, What do you prefer?

Again, please no RIB or inflatable bottom boats please.

Also, I have searched this and other sites, but most are comparisons of inflatable to hard floors or RIB...
