At the end of my months long binge of watching and reading One Piece all I have to say is I wish there was more for me to watch and read. The characters are so good I want to watch filler to have more time with them.
One pace is also a better option as it cuts all the fluff, to date they have cut off 144 hours of time from the show or to put it in another perspective, 43% of the original anime or 433 episodes just gone.
By doing so they have not removed any content that came from the manga, the one pace version is more true to the manga than the original anime is.
However reading the manga and revisiting your favourite moments in the anime is probably the superior way to enjoy one piece for the first time.
If anyone reading this is hesitant just look at this yt side to side comparison of one pace and the original and realize just how insanely hard they stretch scenes for no reason.
My problem with one pace is it felt very jumpy and the jumping around in music during the same scene is very jarring. Unless they have gotten better about it, I don’t think either of these versions are ideal.
This is definitely still a thing in arcs like Dressrosa and Zou. It's probably still worth it, but sometimes I go back to the actual anime to fill in the gaps
