2 sticks will make troubleshooting the memory easier should the need ever arise.

It's sometimes cheaper to get the 2 sticks. It's slightly better to have just one stick, but if your motherboard supports dual DDR, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you have a dual channel board, only by having two sticks will you be able to take advantage of that feature. Otherwise, it shouldn't make much difference. Running one stick might give a very slight advantage.
