What are the opinions on canvas or dome tents? Pros & cons for a touring family size.

My thoughts:

Canvas - stronger, long lasting, quality, easier setup for touring types, but costly, heavier and bulky esp for my family of 5.

Dome - cheap, light, folds down compact, myriad of designs & rooms, but not so great quality, not tough, can blow over and extreme PITA to setup if they are big.

As an aside, both are meant to be waterproof, but an experience the other day saw one leak through the sheet material, not a seam. There was a few small patches of soaked area, dripping through inside.
