Default Rotors On New Wheels

Those of you that have bought custom wheels for your touring bikes did you buy 1 piece rotors or did you go with floating brake rotors or what would you suggest for a 08 flhx.

Thanks

Bought floating to match my wheel. I like the look of the single, but you will need to convert if you go that route. $$$ adds up after awhile

Ps...take time to make sure everything is spaced just right...Im still not convinced mine is right b/c if I go free hand it seems to pull ever so slightly to the left after the new wheels were put on
