Double-walled is considered the better choice for safety and keeping the flue warmer.
The pipe you choose should be based on what chimney you have - unless you're venting into masonry?
Dura-vent DVL and DSP are 2 good options - both have telescopic lengths.
Security is another manufacture to consider. All are made of .015 or .016" 430 alloy SS for the inner pipe and the outer pipe is 26G Aluminized steel painted black for the DVL and 26G Black steel for the DSP and Security. I'm not sure if the painted pipe is harder to keep looking nice, but it might be worth asking some members here that have it - if you go that route.
If you have a factory-built chimney, then you should stick with the stove pipe made by that manufacture for their chimney pipe.

One disadvantage of double wall stove pipe is that you get very little if any heat radiating off the length of pipe that you have. With single wall, the pipe acts as sort of an extension of the stove. I used Heat Fab 22 ga welded pipe. Whatever youuse I would stay away from the snap together (also snaps apart) pipe.
Heat Fab does make slip joint pipe.

Check your stove manual. Sometimes clearances are INCREASED w/ double wall because in theory the stove burns hotter.

ok
found a heavy wall pipe that is fully welded
also has a slip joint
that should make the install a bit easier
big snow coming tonight
that should set the mood for the assembly
thanks

I have double wall interior pipe that is vented, so you still reclaim heat, but the shield allows for closer clearance's. I agree (I have )would never again use snap together pipe. I also like the trombone pipe, just slip it right into the chimney, fast and slick. The only way to go.
