You can always cut a piece of wood board to fit perfectly into the c-channel pocket. This would prevent it from collapsing as well as being light in weight and cheap. (Plus wood is all-around easier to work with.)
My vote is with the kit chassis, because it's light weight, strong, free (-6K), and easy to find replacement parts at a regional simply by asking other friendly teams. Just remember to replace the nuts that come with the kit for real nylon insert locknuts or else you will end up missing some screws here and there.
