One piece rods IMHO are unecessary there is no real difference might be a tiny bit more sensitive. But strength? How many times have you heard it wouldn't have broke if it was a one piece rod?
But i'm sure there is people who say one peice rods make a world of difference. I'm not one of them. Having a one piece is tuff when it comes to transportation atleast for me.
6ft rods are my personal favorite good for rivers and lakes. I recently bought a shimano clarus rod at cabelas.

I got the 6'0" 2 peice medium action i use it for trout fishing.
I had an okuma epixor and hated how loose the handle was took it back for a shimano sahara and love it!
Now when it comes to fishing for bass and kitties i use an 6'6" ugly lite medium action with a okuma hardstone i like it alot. Never fish higher then 10 pound test or lower then 6lb and its always mono.
