It's always all about the $. Most insurance companies pay out when the repair's initial estimate is 80-90% of the appraised value. It depends on a lot of variables, if they are paying for a rental, keeping you in a rental for a month's worth of work is an extra grand for example. Also the potential for finding more problems as they take things apart to repair them can add more on top. So at 11k and a value of 15k is close but not quite.
If it was me, if the damage is mostly superficial, body panels, rims, tires, etc. I'd rather keep it, I'm always leery of buying someone else's used car especially sports cars. If it's major mechanical parts or a bent frame sell.
Hydroplaning is pretty easy in my car, RE-71R 275/305. It was raining pretty good New Year's Eve and the car was feeling pretty unsettled, glad your ok and best of luck.
