We have a poured concrete 2BR CYV in Pennecamp and prefered that over the stick built CYV. My wife and I liked the look because it gave a "Florida lookl" to the home and neighborhood. Also, they alternate the colors of the homes on the street so they all don't look alike.
I agree with the previous poster about the quietness of our home when the windows are closed, although I don't have any experience about how quite the other style CYV is. I do think that the concrete villas take a while longer to heat up in the summer time thus saving AC costs.
It's all personal choice, and there is no bad choice to make. These homes are well built.
I also feel, and this is just a personal feeling, that in the event of a tornado or strong hurricane, yes you may loose the roof with either style home, but a concrete home will still be standing and if you are home riding out this event, you may be safer. Again, just my thoughts, no experience (and I do not want to experience it) to back up my statement.
