Downstem vs built in diffuser and bowl piece

Seems I’m having difficulty finding my next bong. I like the classic style with the bong downstem and bowl but that seems too complicated and too much construction compared to bongs with a built in diffuser which are often 18mm vs 14mm.

Have you guys found any advantage to the smaller 14mm bowls with a downstem vs the 18mm bowl and built in diffuser. Seems less parts and less chance at breaking the downstem.

Also has anyone proven the advantage of multiple percs? Seems whenever I add an ash catcher that water is the only water that gets dirty so it almost seems additional Perks would just add drag.

With the millions of options I really could use expert advice to help me narrow

Stoner ingenuity..
Most on the spot thing I've ever found to smoke out of was in 9th grade history class right before lunch. I had pot but me or my friend had nothing to smoke out of. We used the foil peel off lid thing from an apple sauce container to make a one hitter to smoke in the welding tent in the shop class. Welding area was so ventilated and stinky from welding smells it was the place to go
