Butted vs straight gauge.
With everything else being equal;
If you want a titanium frame because of its durability and practicality go straight gauge.
If you want a marginally lighter frame go butted.
Titanium is less dense so both tube types absorb vibrations and shocks very well.
Stiffness is more about tube size and shape than tube thickness.
