Of the two the one piece rubber one gives better support in my opinion
but be prepared for some major gouges in your fingers! - theyre really
hard to fit even when you warm them up!
I have found that a better solution is to have a canvas diaphragm sewn to
the square frame - you need an industrial sewing machine to do it
properly but an uphoulsterer can run them off in a few minutes - last
ones i had cost twelve bucks - they are firm and less prone to
stretching(webbing) or rotting(rubber)
