One crown or two?

A question for those who have been in this Hosta game for a while:

If you receive a new plant which has two attached crowns AND your goal is
to have a nice large clump in 4-6 years, will you:
a) plant the two-crown plant as is? or,
b) split the crowns and plant each crown "X" distance apart so that each
grows separately?

I know that Van Wade says that for his 'Sum & Substance' he planted three
starts about 18" apart in a triangle.  One crown died and in that hole he
planted the road kill ground hog, leaving two plantings 18" apart.

Other comments?  Would appreciate your experience.

Thanks for your help,
