What compels you to do business with a Ripple Gateway?

[TaylorWarden]

This is market research for a work in progress Gateway.  If you feel like participating, please quote this post and tell me what your thoughts are.

What sort of features compel you to use a Ripple Gateway to perform your trading and payments? 

Do you use open source ripple clients?  Do you believe that it should be on the Gateway to provide software (web, client, or both)?

What compels you to use Fiat Currency IOUs to perform payments?  Do you not perform payments on the XRPL using Fiat Currency IOUs?

If you are an investor of precious metals, do you prefer to store them in your home safe, safety deposit box, or in a third party vault from which you order your metals from?

 If you were to make a deposit of precious metals to a Gateway, what would you pay in total to cover shipping?

If depositing silver to a Gateway, what is the maximum amount that you would deposit?  What do you believe the service fee for this service should cost?

If depositing gold to a Gateway, what is the maximum amount that you would deposit?  What do you believe the service fee for this service should cost?

Please list up to five crypto currencies other than Bitcoin and Ether that you believe should be available to trade on a Gateway?

If you listed five crypto currencies that you believe should be available on a Gateway, what fee would you pay for each crypto currency that you listed for a deposit and a withdrawal?

Thank you to everyone who participates

What compels you to use Fiat Currency IOUs to perform payments? Do you not perform payments on the XRPL using Fiat Currency IOUs? Well, at least because in the long run it's really more productive, lol
The other day I was recommended to read an article about best business ideas and I took from there some interesting options for my business related to cryptocurrency. My idea is completely related to the ripple crypt. However, this is really not easy to do. I want to somehow make the payment by ripple crypt and gas stations interconnected. A simple sale of gasoline with cryptocurrency will not be very cool, you need to refine my idea.
