That's good advice, JRob. Going from a full cap back to a partial might be kind of tricky. He'd have to grow out his sides and back which would take some time and he'd have to deal with wearing the full cap during that time of transition. You've given a really good summary of the reasons to go with a full cap. I hear a lot of hair wearers say that going to a full cap has made life more easier for them---for all the reasons that you posted.
