Default 1 vs 2 whats better for a wideband?

I like the FAST wideband with the duel readings to read each bank. I know its new and the single bank is what everyone uses but is the duel reading a lot better? I would think so, so you can read each side. But my buddy said if the one is working the other side is too. Im looking into getting one but cant decide on what one. And where do you guys put the sensor? I got LTs with straight back pipes to a x-pipe set-up.

I have the dual fast setup and it helped me locate an exhaust leak.
It can also take both readings and average them out which imo is nice.

Got my sensors located just before my o2's on my LTs, it came with 2 bungs that I welded in.

Obviously, people used to get by with no WB. How much difference do you think was between cylinders (or banks) with some of the carb setups? Engines weren't dropping like flies. Now we have affordable setups. Most people just run one. If you have a scanner and still run your NB's, as long as there aren't significant differences between the trims then I think one WB is sufficient. Having a bung on each side is nice. Of course, if one is good, two is better, but eight is best.
