Product Layout Mod (Help me choose)

[jabbawest]

I need some help deciding which product listing layout mod to use.
I currently have, but need to replace:
Column Layout Grid for Product Listing

I'm going to replace that because I want that same Grid look for the All Products listing to which Glenn gave me the suggestion of:
Single Listing Template
Prior to that suggestion I was also looking into the still under development mod:
Flexible Product Listing v1.0 mod by Glenn

I like the flexibility of the FPL mod but the SLT mod is pretty straight forward as to the end results.
I'd appreciate some advice from anyone that has experience using either of the mods I'm looking at.

Thank you,
Stephen

The only advice I can offer is to try both out in a test environment - you should get a 'feel' immediately for what works best for you.

I don't think any of the aforementioned mods are overly difficult to implement so I'd think testing each one would be a feasible route to take...

Well, I went with the SLT mod and love the look, however, I wonder if the FPL mod will play nice with it as I didn't test that variable.

The only tiny issue I have with the SLT mod is that the row spacing on the All Products page is just a bit too tight for my taste.

Oh, forgot to thank the mod developers, yellow1912 & torvista, for the mod #1
AND for adding a template debugger!!
That's gonna help my tired head every night.

With the spacing - in line 1220 in your stylesheet.css you will see:

.centeredContent, th, #cartEmptyText, #cartBoxGVButton, #navNextPrevWrapperTop, #navNextPrevWrapperBottom, #navCatTabsWrapper, #navEZPageNextPrev, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo, #bannerThree, #bannerFour, #bannerFive, #bannerSix, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP, .center, .cartRemoveItemDisplay, .cartQuantityUpdate, .cartQuantity, .cartTotalsDisplay, #cartBoxGVBalance, .accountQuantityDisplay, .ratingRow, label#textAreaReviews, #productMainImage, #reviewsInfoDefaultProductImage, #productReviewsDefaultProductImage, #reviewWriteMainImage, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .gvBal, .attribImg {
text-align:center;
}

To sort this issue on that specific page you just need to iscolate the following into its own element (or whatever the term is!)

.centeredContent {
text-align: center;
padding: 0em 0em 2em 0em;
}

You'll probably want to do this for quite a few of the listed elements above - you could even try just adding in the padding to all of those in line 1220 and see how it holds up site wide?

It's been a long time since I've looked at bit, but yellow1912's original suggestions for the single listing template could be applied to any of the listing layouts. It should be possible to use the Flexible Product Listing file as the basis for the layouts. I don't know how much work that would be.
