I prefer the Bench, the Buckets go in like a Soccer Moms Van
Joking, but I say which ever you like best

Re: your opinion...please!!

if you use the truck as a truck and do distance driving buckets are very uncomfortable to take a nap on

Re: your opinion...please!!

Factory buckets are nice with the console. But if your truck was not built with RPO A50 some modifications are required to bring it to the factory level.
Now do you have factory 69-72 truck bucket seats or something else? Blazer seats are very close and workable but many motorhome seats are non-factory replacements.
A factory bench is easy to live with and gives you room for three.

Bench Seats would be easier to lay down and take a Good ole Nap

Re: your opinion...please!!

I can't afford to drive mine any distance that would require a nap. I'd say find what you are comfortable in and go with it.
