In general, the more pistons, the better, when it comes to brakes. Obviously, there is the cost of the psitons to worry about, but more pistons, means more surface contact with the pad) resulting in a greater area of contact on the pad), more mass to absorb heat, and overall better performance. Two smaller pistons might even weigh less than a single larfge piston, while still having greater contact area on the pad.
