Negative.........heard they're expensive.
Positive..........headliner shop replacement of your old one can't be much different($$-wise) than a one piece.
I tried to replace my 66 headliner....What a dis-heartening FAILURE! (went fine until I cut it too short around the rear glass...other-than-that.....)
Had one installed (and got a new windshield) all at the same time. Insurance replaced windshield free(SC law) Check your insurance comp. rules. Makes the cost of headliner replacement cost a little more....palatable. JMHO(of course)

I didn't find headliner replacement all that hard.  I did mine when I was 16 or 17.  I had the windshield and backlite out, though it can be done without doing that (I wouldn't try it myself, but a professional shop might be able to do it and achieve good results).  Basically you just load the bows in it and start gluing it in with contact cement starting at the middle and working outward for the center two panels, then start in the middle of the glass openings & ends of the center panels front and rear and work outwards.  Leave the screws for your sunvisors, mirror, etc. in so you can locate the holes.  Use some of those spring clamps to hold it while the glue dries.  The trick is to get a feel for how much to stretch the material so it doesn't have wrinkles, but also doesn't bunch up from being overstretched.  There are a few flaws in my installation that in truth only I can see, but there isn't a single wrinkle or bunched up area.  I'm sure if I did it again (which I will in the next couple years because I'll be replacing the windshield and backlite) I could get it to come out perfectly.  Its one of the many things that once you do it once you learn the tricks and future installations go much more smoothly and achieve better results. 

For the one piece, no experience.  I've done them in cars and trucks from the '80s where typically they were vinyl glued to fiberboard and the fiberboard would deteriorate over time, causing the vinyl to fall down.  The new replacements are typically ABS.  Like anything else they require trimming and cutting out holes for dome lights, etc.  Work slowly and patiently, remembering that you can cut it too big multiple times and still fix it, but once its cut too small you're screwed. 

I have no experience with the one piece liners but I did my 66 coupe myself. At the time the headliner cost about $35 and the local shops wanted $400+ to install it. I figured the worst that could happen is I would ruin it and be out $35. It turned out great. The hardest part is removing the window/windshield trim without screwing it up.

Coupe headliners are about 10X harder to install than fastbacks. If you go with original style, it won’t be a big deal to install.
I have heard the MTF headliner gives you more headroom, if that is a consideration for you.
