Default 2 Single Towers Or One Dual Tower?

After learning that I can get 3 sixtels in a 7.2 cubit feet chest freezer my next question is:

Question One:

Would it be better to install 2 single towers or 1 dual tap tower? (I plan on using 2 sixtels)

I've noticed that in the Beer Equipment Store they illustrate that the regulator is shared between the 2 sixtels.

This seems kind of annoying. What if you, for whatever reason, only have one keg? How would you deal with the unshared regulator hose connection? Is there a way to "plug" the unused side?

My inclination is to drill for two separate towers. But I don't know which would be more efficient. Two separate towers would look cooler to me.

What is your opinion?

I will base my final decision on your replies.

Question 2:

If I use 2 separate regulators how easy is it to link the 2 together?

Question 3:

What size CO2 canister should I get for 2 sixtels? Would a 5 lbs. be sufficient?

Thanks for your input.
