Contractor Interview Recap

We have now met with 3 contractors who would like to bid our home building project.
#1 Contractor
Not a true "GC" but a carpenter that is willing to do most of the sub coordination (he says "because I'm going to be there anyway"). He will get the bids, coordinate the materials, trades and inspections.
#2 Contractor
A home builder, whose strategy was to show us the spreadsheet he will create and use to guide through the project
#3 Another home builder who showed a lot of interest in our plans and lot, seems very well connected, and then scared the bejeezus out of me by saying I'd better submit my permit in the next couple of weeks, unless I didn't want to get it back til June.

Here's some additional thoughts:
#1 Contractor will work with us every step of the way. For example, already said he wants us to go thru the house after it's framed to see if we'd like to change any walls (vs the plans) (for no charge)
#1 Contractor is willing to let us get other bids from subs, though he'd prefer to use his own
#1 Contractor had already gone out to our property
#1 Contractor is local, meaning in the same city as us, meaning he is very accessible
#1 Contractor is retired, but just doesn't want to stop working
#1 Contractor built our friend's house, his daughter's
#1 Contractor mentioned a few of his suppliers-the same suppliers the next 2 contractors spoke of using
#1 Contractor estimates having us in our new home w/in 4-6 months after beginning
#1 Contractor would take on a few sides jobs (decks, etc)
#1 Contractor drove over in an early 2000's standard cab Chevy
