I guess the best option is for a glider with both flaps and

Sometimes too many opinions from too many people are a bad thing.

There are lots and lots of them out there! Starting with the ASW 20, all
Schleicher flapped gliders have had "high deflection" landing flaps and
spoilers. ASW 20, ASW 22, ASH 25, ASH 26, ASW 27, ASG 29, and so on.

"High deflection" ranged from 40 degrees to 60 degrees. None of them had
full deflection flaps.
