Do a quick Google search on welded vs. riveted hulls, you'll know more about it than you ever wanted to know!
It's kinda like Ford vs. Chevy or Coke vs. Pepsi, there's no shortage bandwith being burned up.

As for cracked weld vs. bad rivet; fair enough, my assumption was that a weld would be stronger.
How about actually repairing these things. Is it easier to repair a weld or a rivet? I would assume rivet...

I don't have any real experience with repairing rivets, only what I've read, but based on that, they seem to be about equal when it comes to doing repairs, both have ups and downs in their favour.
To be honest, welded vs. riveted really wasn't a factor in my decision.
