I didn't need to do three-piece because the rim section that I needed was available in a single unit. Two piece are just as light as three, and can't ever have the same leak issues that you sometimes get with a three-piece. Also, there's absolutely no aesthetic difference between the two.

As far as the "big ass tires" are concerned, I couldn't find a matching set that I liked in a 22" rim diameter. I can also rotate because I stayed with the same setup all the way around. Not as cool looking from the rear, but surprisingly enough it really doesn't bother me.
