I like the HD because of the holes which allows for more welding onto the uni-frame.

used 3/16 flat stock to plate my frame rails. id suggest using 1/8 though, if i did it again id get some 3x3x1/8 angle iron and cut it to fit then use a hole saw to put holes in it for more welds. this stuff is a lot cheaper than pre made ones providing you have more time than money

Moisture still forms in a sealed area. An airplane is completely sealed, yet it gets a LOT of water inside the cabin because of the temperature differences. It's a more extreme instance, but the same still applies. When you seal it, the moisture forms, and it now has nowhere to drain to. It's designed into the airplane for that moisture to drain, you no longer have anything to accommodate the issue. The only thing you could do is drill some small holes in the bottom so it doesn't pool and make things even worse.
