If I had the whole set-up from a 2 piece, I would reuse it. The carrier bearing is a bit of a pain at times, but it is hard to beat "free" when comparing the price of a 1 piece. I have had my driveshaft in my car modified numerous times. It is $100. It is too short to mess with balancing, so that is a deal versus a new shaft.

I have a fixed yoke on my 1 piece...at least that is what the driveshaft shop told me. It is about 1" - 1.5" shorter than a slip yoke. I moved the rear up and down in its max and min travel area and the yoke barely moved in and out. As long as you have it in far enough and the travel isn't pulling it out, then use whatever, although with a 2 piece, it isn't an issue.
