I think that it is personal preference. When I got mine it had the bench seat that was totally trashed, plus we had a set of bucket seats. I went with the buckets, but in some ways I wish that I had kept the bench.
I think it comes down to what are you looking for in seating? I think that the buckets make it a sportier look, and maybe more stability in the seat. The bench gives you more room for passengers, and more chance of getting that special someone right beside you in the seat as you go out for a cruise. In 69 you still had only the lap belt, so I would think about that, especially if you are planning on putting any power under the hood. Are you going with a more original look? There are so many things to consider, and only you can answer those questions. I will tell you that from my experience, spend the money now, because ultimately if you are not happy with the cheaper route, you will spend the money anyway. Just my 2 cents.
