80/20

173 is building a 2nd robot for fun. We want to use the 80/20 stuff, but i'm stuck in a dilemma.
For those who have used it before:
Would it be better to make the frame of the base out of the 1010 or the 1515-lite?
It looks like the 1010 is hlf as havy as the 1515, but the 1515 is twice as strong as the 1010. Which is more important? Is the strength that important, and have a bigger influence, or shouls i go with the 1010?

If you watch our matches, you will see that our drivers can get pretty crazy, and the bot will take alot of impact. Any advice you have would be great. Thanks
