If you register both Nooks to the same account, both Nooks will get the same books (because this was meant for one person using multiple devices to read books). Also if one person archives a books, it will be archived on both Nooks. So unless the readers of both Nooks have the same taste in books, sharing an account is usually not recommended.
Just share the books.

One caveat to add to this. This works OK with books (although sometimes you can't see the covers of the copied books). It does not, however, work with apps you purchase from B&N. There is no way to sideload them from one Nook to another. If you plan on purchasing apps, then it is better to share the same account.
