Do single ply ss liners collect creosote that quickly and draft poorly?

Looking at liners and I'm wondering if I would have any problems with creosote/draft if I use a single ply liner compared to a double. Who's been using a single ply for years? Please respond
 
I am into my third season with two single ply stainless liners and I love'em. One 22 feet and one 30 some-odd feet and the draft in either one would likely suck the icing off of a birthday cake. As to creosote accumulation I get more in the pipe from the stove to the liner than I do in the liners.

Burn dry wood hot and fugidaboutit.

There is twenty four feet of two ply liner laying behind my wood pile that I pulled out and replaced after one season. The crap inside de-laminates and just turns into a creosote trap.
