The Quest is awful! Yeah, the outside is the least mini-van, but the driver's ergonomics are so poor that I consider them downright unsafe. The center mounted gauge pod, controls strewn everywhere but where they ought to be and a storage pod you have to reach through the steering wheel to access!
The new Quest does away with most of these issues that you speak of, have you driven the 06/07 models? The center mount guage pod goes away as does the location of the storage pods.
Overall I'd vote for the Toyota or the Honda. I'd never buy a new American made minivan myself, they depreciate like a stone as soon as you drive off of the lot. Better to pick up an off lease model and save yourself 20k IMHO.
