My house was built in 1986 and has two one piece tub/shower walls in fiberglass and they still look great. No cracks either. Last year I added a third bath in the basement, I couldn't physically fit a one piece ( framing was in place from previous owner ) so I installed a two piece shower stall. Piece of cake to install and only one horizontal seam which is very easy to seal during installation.
This. At the very least go with a one-piece pan, either fiberglass or solid surface. You can always tile the walls if desired.
