Cut the doors or Kickpanels?

My truck is a 1987 chevy!

Hey guys I just bought a set of 5" component speakers. I was wondering if I should cut my doors and put the speakers in there and put the tweeters in the dash where the stock speakers were or should I go for kick panels? I dont like the kickpanels with the "tweeter hole" in them like the qlogics, plus they are pretty expensive.

cutting the doors-
What is the downside to cutting the doors besides the hole? I mean if you wanted to remove the speakers, you could put sheet metal back over the hole along with the carpet and no one would know they were ever cut. I was also told water might get to the speakers but I am going to install rainguards on the top of the speaker inside the door to protect them.

kick panels-
From what I have seen kickpanels are pretty expensive and you have to modify the crap out of them to get them to fit. Plus they dont looks stock. However the good in them is that you dont have to cut your doors!

What should I do?

Are there any less expensive good quality kickpanels without the tweeter hole?

Thanks for your time!
