There's a third option you haven't mentioned: two different
displays rather than a large virtual display spread across two
monitors.

Pros:
* Mouse movement and focus still act like one large display.
* Each display can have it's own set of virtual desktops and
they can be switched indpendantly.
Really? When I set up separate X screens, changing virtual desktops on
one display (eg from "VD1" to "VD2") also changed it on the other display.
* Things like window-manager panels/docs/taskbars are managed
separately for the two displays.
* Displays can have different resolutions, sizes, depths.
So can xinerama / twinview :)

When things go well, expect something to explode, erode, collapse or
just disappear.
