Hi Stuart.
Depends on what you think of Turnigy equipment. Some say it is longhand for cheap.
Personally I would go with the two rx option at little extra cost overall. You don't need to get a second 14 channel rx. An 8 would do and like John said spread the load between them. Keith Mitchell did a drawing setting out the layout which might assist you. In short it suggests one elevator and one aileron etc on each rx.
The Turnigy power box literally puts everything in one box so if it packs up you have had it.
There is only one battery in your transmitter. This is true. Difference is if it is set up properly you get an audible warning when the voltage is close to failure (this is to be avoided all the same). The model will just go out of control in the event of low battery voltage to the rx unless you have the telemetry set up to inform you. Remember that the batteries we use now tend to go downhill fast at the last of their capacity.
Two separate systems is best. I use it on some of my models which are under the 20Kg exemption just to be safe.
