TravelTrailer or MotorHome: Debate or just separate camps?

We have been cruising this site trying to learn as much as I can. We actually looked at travel trailers now and are STILL in the learning mode.

I was recently speaking to a friend who has a Class "A" motorhome and he related how he has migrated from pop-up to fifth-wheel to his present motorhome.
He laughed: "yeah, I started out just as you are. Don't want to drive a beast. Want a vehicle to drive when I get there. Lower cost."
"You'll come around" he said, but "welcome aboard, we are always looking for people to travel with."

My question is: What are pluses or minuses for motorhome versus travel trailer.
For example, having a driver when you get to destination. His response was: "well, you don't travel 80% of the time, so, when at home, you are stuck w/ a heavy-duty TV, e.g. a 3/4 ton truck." He preferred to tow a cheap vehicle behind his motorhome and keep a decent vehicle at home.

I'm sure it all comes down to different strokes for different folks, I would just like to hear what you all have to say?

Thanks
