I assume you meant ``1 connection for each''.

Performance-wise there's not much difference.

One connection for each means that hard-errors on one channel will only
take down one of the two connections.  In addition, some AMQP methods
affect the entire connection, some more connections could mean more
fine-grained control.

You probably don't want multiple connections, though.

Cheers,
Alex
