It depends :-). For a relatively simple stylesheet, with many common style rules, it makes sense to keep everything in one stylesheet and use @media queries inside that one file. If however there are may differences between large screen / small screen styling, keeping them separate could make sense to reduce the download size for mobile / small screen devices - eventually at the cost of one more http request. I also remember talking to a guy based in Eastern Africa, using not-so-powerfull Nokia phones. We found that those devices had problems handling gzipped stylesheets - it actually slowed down the rendering because the device was slow in uncompressing the file. Nothing scientific, mind you.
