Mazak,
I think you're better off going with the "less detail" gutter because it will not be noticeable at the distance it will be seen and will save memory.
When I model I determine if the item will be seen at close distances and if the object modeled will look realistic when textured when using planes. It all depends on the object and there is no rule of thumb for all geometry. In this case though the simpler planar gutter is definitely the better way to go IMO.
Great model BTW. A question, did you use the "Boole" Object to create the holes for the windows?
