I would use both and keep using both until progress stops.

Of course there are lots of ways to do this.

if one stops progressing you could;
* reduce the number of sets or rep's depending on the numbers.
* drop one of the exercises for a time
* change the order you do it in

the good thing about all this is the options.
progress always being the measurement
 
It took me a while to discover that my best rep range for my bicep is between 6~8 as opposed to 8~12 my legs work much better in the 15~20 range, but I digress
 
So what benefit does this increased rom on the leg press translate into aside from increased risk?
 
Personally I think one of the main roles of unilateral movements is to correct imbalances or inequity in muscle activation.

Eg as is not uncommon, of you find you unconsciously favour one side/ leg while say, squatting, I'm of the opinion that a unilateral pressing movement such as leg press, step ups or Rfess's can help rectify this.
 
So what benefit does this increased rom on the leg press translate into aside from increased risk?
No increased risk for me with single Leg pressing i feel. I hit my glutes hard in that one. Not much else hits them as hard (for me).

But anyway, too much thought is going into this.

Obviously for the bodybuilder or physique athlete they are a necessity to gain maximum symmetry.
 
Been doing a lot of one arm, one legged shit for many months now, not sure it has much additional benefit other than different stimulus, particularly if you are doing other co ordination/skill requiring activities.

Your thoughts Big Mick?
