The bottom two look very close to what the air "should" be doing. In other words, it follows the aero template. Follow those lines and you will have yourself a (theoretically) perfect boat tail.
I have used this with 3 vehicles today. A Honda Del Sol, Ford Explorer and a Jeep Cherokee. Well, I have only been using this for about 2 days, with no experience. Stitching is a new term to me, but I think I know what your talking about. All I have done is downloaded somebody else's model and exported it using the plugin as a .stl. I have done no stitching, but maybe I have just been lucky. The plugin I mentioned might do the stitching when you export the file, if that is even possible.
