Any opinions/tips/perspective on five-piece surround kits?

Look for ones that have the seams facing away from the bathroom, That
way, if there are any small discontinuities, they won't be visible to
the general public. Look carefully at the backing, those with big air
gaps/ voids will be harder to put up without feeling cheap if you
touch the surround. You don't want things to be flexible.
