I pick up to used suits:
-DeSoto T1 Black Pearl
-HUUB Archimedes

Would it be better to do the 2 piece vs. the one piece?\

Obviously a newbie question so thanks for the patience.

I would go with the Huub. Not that this means much but find me a professional that uses a two-piece. I know Dan and some others say they like them but they just complicate the equation in my humble opinion. Maybe before suits became so flexible in the shoulders and before core shorts existed in mass they had more value but I can't see a compelling reason to use one today and I am pretty open-minded person who has tried a two-piece myself in the past. I can't legitimately see a reason why I would want a two-piece ever again.

Surely it comes down to which fits the best ?

Ask Monty about the two piece version. Ok, he is no longer a pro but has been there, done that and can offer words of wisdom.
