The draft and bowl will be on the small side (bowls on the Meerschaum lined pipes especially) but quality will be good.
I have five Vauen pipes and I like them all, you just have to be aware that they aren't very large in functional dimensions, which may or may not make a difference to you.
If you want to see what the opposite end of the draft hole spectrum is then try a Missouri Meerschaum Cob with the plastic stem, the draft on those is as open as anything on the market.
The Savinelli 320 is the most readily available pipe with a large bowl that I can find.

I'd say go with Meerschaum or go with briar and avoid the bastard off-springs of both. I've owned a couple and really see no advantage. Just my two cents.
