Any feedback on why one would be superior other the other?

Thanks!

Two piece. Cleaner look, no interference with rollbars, no flapping in the wind, freedom to use front or back independently. Also seems that they provide better access to roof panels. One thing to consider, if you are above 6' you might look at the full length, as it rides on the top of the rollbars as opposed to suspended in the middle of them. I am in between 5'11" and 6' and the two piece provides plenty of room.

I went with the one piece due to my concern about my head potentially touching the shade. I do prefer the look of the two piece.

No issues with flapping in the wind, there isn't much slack once you get it installed

6'4"? Yes, go with the one piece. I'm 5'10" and have plenty of room with the two piece even with a baseball cap but another half foot would touch or make me feel claustrophobic.

Is there a difference in being able to reinstall the hard top and replace/remove freedom panels between the full vs two piece? Thanks

I just installed the two piece today... love it... looks cleaner than draping a one piece over the top IMO... now for some matching cherry red wheels...
