I have both the 1 overall rain suit and the gore-tex insert and over-trousers.
I very rarely use the overall 1 piece suit as it is a pain to get in and out and also I find it too hot and very bullky. And as mentioned above, if you need to go behind a bush frequently it is a pain in the bum! But it is warm and will keep you dry.
Really it depends on climates and type of trip. For short trips where bulk is not too much an issue (i.e around europe) the 1 overall rain suit is ok although it packs big. For longer trips I prefer multi-purpose gear. Using a thin gore-tex jacket under my light motorcycle summer jacket, and MC rain overtrousers. I can then use them when not on the bike as well so no need for a second waterproof jacket for hiking. It's all about layering after that to adapt to local climate.
