Default One account or two?

I have an HTC Droid Incredible and just got my Viewsonic Gtablet.

Should I use the same google account for both or should I use a secondary google account for the tablet?

Thoughts? Advantages/disadvantages?

I am currently running with one account, but have debated with going to two.

One Account Thoughts:
-Apps are tied to your account, so if you have a pay app you want to use both places you don't have to buy it twice
-I've had issues doing restores using Titanium Backup where it installed all my phone apps on my tablet, two accounts would alleviate this

Why not just have 2 TB backup directories, one for the tablet and one for the phone. TB backup the tablet apps, save them to your PC, then TB backup your phone apps and save them to your PC as well...each in their own "Backup" directory.

Every time I do a nandroid, or TB backup, I immediately copy them to my PC. It's of no use to me if I have to repartition to fix an error, and the backups get wiped out.
