The twin lines from the master cylinder (set-up 2) means if you boil your fluid in one calliper, the resultant air bubbles wont affect the breaking performance on the other calliper.

So In the real world – no difference.
edit - you could install 2 different internal diameter lines (on set-up 2) and have progressive bakes!

That statement is not true as the hydraulic system is common so air would be in the system causing loss of feel at the lever.
