I put what I guess would be a 7 piece in, pan, 2 back, 2 side panels (one on each side of the door) the door (at a 45) and a piece that cover the rear corner seam and provides the soap trays etc.

While this is not a heavily used shower, we've never had a problem with it.
RTFM and follow it, don't be cheap with the caulk (Quality and quantity) and I don't see what difference it will make.

The only issue is, I put a blob of cement under the pan to support it, and apparently didn't get it pushed down as well as I should have. So the drain isn't exactly the lowest point. It's only off by an 1/8th of an inch so you just have to remember to push the water to it after you're all done.
