i am going to use 2 davis craig thermo fans to cool my i/c and i have the same dilema. I think i will go with the 2 X 10" fans as they should cover more area together i thinks....
just my opinion

you would get more current draw probably with 2 fans and 2 10" fans will cost more than 1 12" fan

simply put id say 2 would be better, but whether you need 2 or only 1 is the real question. if u dont really need 2 and the one 12" you had did the job then one would be fine again.
maybe you would just like 2, future plans maybe?

a 16" thermo will flow heaps more air than 2x10's
if it will fit

Radiator coverage is more important than overall flow, so unless you have good shrouding which covers the whole radiator I'd go with the two smaller fans.
