I’d take precast or block over stick built any day of the week. Precast would have the best insulating qualities whereas stick built would be the least efficient. As for looks, IMO, vinyl looks cheap, like a mobile home.
If TV would allow you to use hardi plank siding, or stucco/scratch coat on a stick built home, and if they used 2x6 construction with closed cell insulation, then I would consider a stick built home here. I’ve never understood why TV builds vinyl homes and disperses them amongst the block built homes. Vinyl tends to be the smaller homes, smaller garages.
