Both require extra power connector, right?
Not much advantage to overclocking. Advantage really in most dualslot coolers is that heat is exhausted out of the case instead of back into the case. A lot of the dual slots are only aluminum versus copper or just aren't as effective as some of the single slot type coolers.
Should note that some dual slot coolers might have the larger metal bracket on them but don't actually exhaust directly through it.... i.e. MSI cards.
