B/C is a must on a metallic color especially if sand and buffing is in the plan. but not so much on a solid color. The solid color can be sanded and buffed w/o the clear.
The clear over solid color adds nothing to gloss or life to job. Single stage also is less costly and less time to do. Repair is also EZer to repair . One more advantage could be that if at any point in paint process you need to do a repair or improvement to job you can just spray another coat. some shops paint car then sand it out and apply more coats as a final finish.
Factory clear coats every vehicle now due to there paint system
But in ether case a good shop can produce the same result. A excellent job.
Whatever you choose make sure the shop you choose is comfortable with the system you choose. This can affect the job more than you may think

I would say 99% of the shops out there ....would refuse to paint a guys car if he came in with a paint system different than theirs....I know I would.
