My view is that raglan sleeves are preferable on a trench, not just because they're 'traditional' but because they sit better over a variety of jackets with potentially differing shoulder treatments, or no jacket at all, which can move your effective shoulder point. With a set in sleeve if the shoulder point doesn't match closely enough with what's underneath they can sit strangely.
The sleeves are the major thing putting me off the sheerwater. I think I want non-raglan sleeves. Looks a bit cleaner. On the other hand I think 100% cotton would be nice, although not essential and possibly less waterproof. The Sheerwater is significantly cheaper too. Not sure I like the under collar check of the Broadgate. Hmm...
