The advantage to one account - you can share books without any issues at all. My wife and I share an account (mine), even though she has her own Amazon account, the Kindle is on mine. We have an overlap of maybe 25% of the books we each read. Makes it simpler.

The disadvantage to one account: Recommendations get skewed. I keep getting recommendations for books that I'm not likely to ever read, based on the books she reads. But if you don't care about that, there's not much other downside.

EITHER way - get in the habit of stripping the DRM and you can move the books any way you want. The whole idea of moving Kindles back and forth between accounts is just silly, IMHO.
