Unfortunately, I doubt you’ll find anyone having recent personal experience with more than one brand of ’67 door panels. So, I can give you a single data point about my experience with newer (2013) ’67 Corvette America (CA) door panels – I thought they fit very well and are a quality product.

I bought mine as a pair but they are listed and priced as each (LH and RH) on the CA website, so it appears you can buy only one.

I believe all of the manufacturers have improved the quality of their door panels over the past 20 years.

As I'm sure you know, '67 door panels were one year only because of the door lock location. Here is a pic of a 2013 CA '67 panel:
