My 2 cents is not what you looking for, but after having gone through the same worrying about what is best I have come to the conclusion that unless your going to beat the heck out it, or paddle some place that is really rough on you boat, you're over thinking it.
My experience is any of the ones I have used, 7 oz and 12 oz nylon and 8 oz polyester, are more than adequate for most normal use. I did ruin a 7oz nylon but I was doing something I should haven't done.
The only coating I have tried that I don't like is latex paint on polyester, just to soft and skin up easy but it remains water tight. I have used DuraTuf and ZAR and both stand up to anything i will give them and I don't baby my boats. I don't abuse them either.
Not what you asked but that has been my experience.
