Last thing I'm going to say on this: It's a really good idea to make the
score repeat structures the same for clarity and minimal confusion. It will
pay off because the musicians see what the conductor sees. That's what
makes most sense to me. Anyone can agree or disagree, but I don't think
there's any point deliberating over this any more.

There. I've said it. ;-) Happy engraving!
