Let's mount a scope on a long-action bolt action rifle!!

What are the pros and cons about using 2 piece weaver style bases?

How 'bout the pros and cons about using a long 1 piece weaver style base that extends over the ejection port?

Which is more preferred?

Are scope mounts that are already built into bases even better yet?

What about the difference between aluminum and steel for both bases and mounts?

Does any or all of this change for short-action rifles?

All input is greatly appreciated whether fact or opinion!

Thanks in advance!!
