With respect to the road network one thing  to consider is update frequency.
The Canvec data is updated twice a year, geobase seems to publish when they 
get the data ready.

Right now only 4 provinces/territories have street names and 3 with
addresses. I think we are going to be very anxious for the updates that add 
street names to the other provinces.  I am not sure how far canvec lags 
behind the geobase updates.

Pulling the road data from geobase doesn't exclude pulling additional layers 
from canvec.  I think we would still want to deal with each layer (or 
related layers) as seperate projects.
