I've used two separate cable runs. In that case, bare wire or spade connectors at the 1050 are recommended (two sets of bananas going to the same binding post could be a problem), although I have used bare wire for one cable and banana for the other before -- if you're using Monster XP, you should not have a problem. I'd try to get the same kind of wire for both, and try for the same length (as much for cleanliness of the wiring as anything else -- it would take a good bit of difference in length to have an effect, from what I understand).
