urxvt vs lxterminal vs sakura

I've scene musher0 in a few posts plugging urxvt as the preferred terminal due to better sudo-gui features (e.g. menus).

I suspect that most users don't know about a lot of these features and one can always install urxvt if they want it.
The keyboard features for copy and paste in urxvt work well but both sakura and lxterminal are more intuitive and user friendly in this regards. I certainly don't want menus in console based applications to be behave poorly but can any of these terminals be run independently of an xserver and provide these features?
That said one could have a very basic xserver (no window manager) that was just a terminal emulator like urxvt and maybe a terminal multiplexer. This would be a very lightweight setup.
I find it interesting that musher0 is deriding the push for leaner pups but at the same time pushing for better terminal support. I say this because terminal based applications are lighter weight. Granted some things are faster in a terminal and can be used in a full GUI environment.
The poll will be open for 60 days.
