Skunk,
Running off the coast of NJ I would opt for either Lenco or Bennet.

I have never run a V 20 with tabs. I would imagine it would be an improvement on a already great hull.
I have run a 2120 sport cabin Parker, 25' Rosborough,23' Wellcraft and a 35' Bertram with tabs. All of these boats were/are affected by following seas with tabs down. Some more then others but you know the tabs are down when you're at the helm in a following sea.

Of course this from my experience in our local waters off the coast here in MA.
What might apply here might not apply somewhere else.
