Your list a little different in mine which is what lead us to our personal choices.
All boats can leak effecting buoyancy. Knock on wood, in the 40 years I have been using inflatables for fishing, never a leak.
All are wind resistance, it is the body in a lot of cases.
Depends on which inflatable and who is rowing as far as rowing goes.
The hands free is a definite issue, but even with some kayaks, just the ability to sit sideways with feet in the water can cure that.
Stand up? That is more the person than the boat. I have seen people stand on SFC's.
My heaviest pontoon is in the 60 lb range and it is brutal. Thank God for the other four that are under 38 lbs.
Just the flip side to that coin.
