I plan to hold + rent the home for 10+ years, and I'd rather not have to spend a lot of time/money/energy maintaining the gutters (nor would I expect renters to be diligent about maintaining them, even if I included such a specification in my lease).I chatted with a gutter repair contractor, and he advised me to stay away from aluminum seamless, although that appears to be the most widely-promoted option.
