Default Toilet replacement questions

I have the old toilet removed for plumbing repair and since it's old and
dirty, I want to replace it with a new one.

A few questions:

There are one-piece and two-piece toilets. One-piece looks easier to clean
(no gap for water to hide). Is there any disadvantage, other than high
price? Are there some brand that's better or worse?

Every floor flange photo I found on the web shows the flange mounted on
top of the floor. But mine is mounted flush with the floor:

*Spacers are made in 1/4" and thicker to extend the floor flange up a
little. Use RTV caulk between the spacers.



Is this a problem? Shoud I use a thicker wax ring, or a flange extender?
