Default Wheels-Monoblock or 3 piece?

What do you guys prefer on aftermarket/motorsport wheels, monoblock (1 piece) or modular (3 piece)?

Wheels that fit OVER BBKs would be the best.

Like my CCW Classics but they will not fit over a BBK set up.

monoblocks are often lighter, but I like modular wheels for racing since you are likeley to hit things and bend the rims. Repairing 3-piece by re-******* is cost effective...or at least it used to me.

This....spending $150 to repair a outer wheel shell vs. buying a new rim....priceless!
