Double Body vs Single Body CO2 Regulator?

I am going to be using a 5lb CO2 cylinder, and wondered if there are any issues in using a double body regulator on this style instead of just a single with two shutoffs?  I had a friend mentioned that the double body would be better with a larger CO2 cylinder because of its extra length, instead of a 5lb.  Anyone think this is true?  I've never heard that.



 

The only thing that I think makes it better is you can carb at two levels.  The only downside that I can see is that if your kegerator is tight on space this is slightly bigger but still probably won't be much of an issue.
