You should hit both servers and not just with a concurrency level of 1.

There are many more factors to consider, but these are highly dependent on your 
actual problem (not just a simple benchmark). Just to name a few: bitcask 
settings 
(http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/tutorials/choosing-a-backend/Bitcask/#Tuning-Bitcask),
 w-quorum, HTTP vs ProtoBuf, ring_creation_size, ...
