I would probably recommend using FOs. The circuit boards are expensive, a royal PITA to install due to the limited space and they absolutely must be serviceable. That means building in a way to get them back out again. Also, boards will generate at least some heat. If they get warm enough, a cooling fan may be required.
I had to make a slight modification to the end cap bottom in order to fit the circuit boards. This resulted in an ever-so-slight variation from the original. It's subtle, but if you know what to look for, you can see it. This would not be necessary if the board was not installed.
