Hello there!
May I say that this is an awesome build, and that I can't wait to build something similar to this with the help of your amazing pictures. Anyway, I'm sorry if this question was already answered, but where did you find that piece that took the place of the PDB? I was looking at the Frog Lite as well, but I figured it would just be easier to build in a Martian II due to its size.
It comes with a carbon plate the same shape as the PDB. I just excluded the PDB. This is a little easier to build, but the Frog isn't bad at all with the right components. I think it comes down to personal preference. This frame has held up really well though.
I must have missed that when I looked through a few other build videos, because I had no clue it was included! Thank you for clearing that up. I think I'm still leaning towards the Martian, again, due to ease of building. It makes ESCs that much easier to pick, but a 4-in-1 seems very, very appealing to me after looking at this guide. I thought I was set with the DYS DS20A bundle from Banggood, but now I'm not so sure.
I'm a huge advocate of 4-in-1 boards, but you'll get people on both sides of the fence. Certainly there is some risk in that you'll need to replace the entire board in the event of a failure, but I've got 6 builds with 4-in-1s and I've yet to have one fail. My flight controllers fail far more often. Personally I think the convenience and build cleanliness is well worth it. No need to protect your ESCs from prop strikes if they're in the stack.
That's good to hear. I first bought parts for a quad (The FPV system had some incompatibilities so now it's an 4S LOS....thing) On the topic of Flight controllers, I'm curious how you feel about these super cheap Omnibus F4's and how they compare to, say, the DYS F4 board. There's quite a jump in price, I'm just curious if you think it's worth it.

Thanks again for your responses.
They get the job done, but sometimes they can be a little bit wonky. One of mine was losing its settings for some reason, but it seems to be okay now.
