I suppose one could get away with only using a single disk without
Mirroring. I am just not really willing to risk it. I bought two
32GB SSD's for @200.00 So for me this was all they were intended
for. I plan on adding a 128GB or larger Cache drive moving forward
that will only be a single disk. As for splitting the drive into
multiple partitions I am shocked that I have to reboot the system to
get it to pick them up. I have several VM's mounted via iSCSI so
rebooting this system really impacts quite a few things even though
it is my lab.
Something that might be worth reading in regards to having a
Mirrored ZIL/SLOG is locate here.

Plus this was a recommendation from a couple of guys at Sun as well.
My data is currently worth more than the extra 100.00 I spent for
the second SSD drive. The question really was not if this should be
done rather the proper way to partition the disk up. I do appreciate
all of the replies from everyone though.
You don't need to reboot to pick up the new partition table.
Use format->fdisk to create the new partitions, save, quit, run format
go into fdisk again and the partitions should be recognized.
You can then add cXtYdZp1 to one zpool and cXtYdZp2 to the other. Do
the same with the other SSD and add mirrors to those logs.
