Multi piece or one piece graphite?

[basto]

Hi Guys
I have reels with multi piece metal frames and reels with one piece graphite frames and have always wondered which was the strongest. Anyone have an opinion on this? I know one piece metal is the ideal, but am refering to older model PENN, ABU,SHIMANO etc.
