I will be getting a RWD. Is there a better setup, or is it just personal preference? What is the difference with a staggered setup?

Well with the staggered set-up, you can't rotate your tires, which is I think the biggest (and maybe the only) disadvantage.

I think all of it's advantages are performance-related. You put the wider tires in the back since those are the drive wheels to give better acceleration and maybe try to limit oversteer.

potholes don't exist in your area

Thanks for the compliments Tony1!

The roads in El Paso are OK in some areas and some are really messed up. I always am extra careful when driving around just in case...

The difference is the tire width in the front and rear. Like Rocket said, there are some advantages and disadvantages depending on the setup you get. I chose to go staggered for performance and looks as well
