I will only own 1-wheel wheelbarrows because I'm strong/skilled enough to balance them (I've always used them), they work better on uneven terrain, and can go through narrower paths. I find the 2-wheelelled ones feel clumsy and don't maneuver as quickly and hang up on branches and other obstacles. I will do anything with a one-wheeled wheelbarrow you can do with a 2-wheeled wheelbarrow and more. They are just more versatile.
I don't do much wheelbarrowing in level/open fields. I also feel using a wheelbarrow should be kind of like a workout that involves balance.
When I built this house I used them quite a bit for gravel, etc., and I could just throw up the handles and dump the whole load in a small hole. It was a learned skill. When you are building your own place, you learn to work efficiently. When you can't afford, or don't have the time to get rented equipment like a Bobcat, you learn to make do with what you have.
When I helped out at the Fish and Game club (they were setting some posts) the club president was flabbergasted (and very appreciative). When everyone else is slowly pouring out their load into the hole, I was just throwing the handles up and not missing any of it. I've also worked on numerous construction sites with my brother (a PE). I was known for getting loads up inclines (all day long) that the younger guys could not do.
When the club president expressed his "surprise", I just looked back at him and said: "Do you think this is the first time I've done this stuff?".
