Hello! I have 2 questions ill try to explain them as detailed but in the same time short, as i can.

1. I started working on the single product page for my website where i use woocommerce plugin. In the beginning i was watching the tutorial on youtube on how to style your single product page. But somewhere along the way of using content templates for my single product page i was thinking "hmm. cant i just do this much faster and easier in layouts?". So i started trying to do the same things in layouts and it seems to be working perfectly fine. The question is. Is there any upsides or downsides of the 2 ways i can do this? Is one of them the wrong way to do it?^

2. I would like a single product image slider but after trying to create this in many different ways using toolset, i can't seem to make it work. Also i tried using the Meta Slider Pro plugin which works, only problem is that it dont know what product images to display so it displays all of them. Do you have a solution for this?

=> Yes, the only thing here you need to remember is the theme you are using should be Layouts compatible. As you already admit, using layouts you can design your product template very efficient way using GUI.

To design single product page you can use WooCommerce Views:

[Section: "Design product templates"]
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/getting-started-woocommerce-views/

Please check following Doc that will guide you how you can develop layouts based theme if the theme is not layouts compatible:
