Even after the floor is done, cab corners and rockers and maybe lower pillars, etc. will still need work in most rusted cabs.
Seems tobe about the same amount of welding if your putting in 2 floor patches. Differance is noone will be able to tell you put a full floor in since it goes from factory seam to factory seam. And like you state you have to put a and b patches in anyway with rockers. Also, you don't have to fool with forward and rear cab mounts, since they are mounted from the factory w/ nuts welded to the inner rocker panels

Easier? yes, 10 fold...but I will give you a definative answer in about 2 weeks
Labor is what ever your time is worth...
