I would have thought that B is the best model for anything that's going to be built by a distributed team. And if we're talking about project structure and development style, then I'd like us to aim at a sort of RAD style prototyping + incremental updates approach rather than specifying an all bells-and-whistles PBW and trying to build it in one big go.

Yes please.
I have been (also?) excluded from the exclusive tesco-picked circle of first-hand designers (I guess too much professional experience ) and don't know if I have made my point clear enough to whoever decides about PBW future that another system with the same eventually unmaintainable structure as the current system might not be desirable.
It would probably be good if we could avoid the paranoia and bickering quite this early in the project ...
