I have 1 possible location to put up a bat house. This is an area with NO bat houses. Within 1/4 mile of water.

I'm thinking that the Rocket Box may give the best options for sun/temp/direction, etc.

What are the Pros & Cons about the Rocket Box?

The only con I think of for a rocket box is they can sometimes fill up quicker with wasp nests because of the narrow crevice width. Other than that they are a very good choice.

Thanks for the input. That's important here because of over-abundance of wasps.

Does anyone else have any experience to share?

Go for the rocket. It is an outstanding design for single mounting and ease of maintenance etc.
