In my opinion they feel better. I have never tried tables, so I couldn't say anything about that. I just prefer the feel of 3 pc cranks over 1 pc.

I don't know how 3pc's feel better, but they just do. I've switched back and forth & felt the diff.
Plus, 1pc have this nasty tendancy to bend.
Also, you wouldn't be able to fit 1pc in any proper modern BMX frame. Span, Mid, and Euro BB's are all to small. You need an Amer BB.

No excuses.
