I've never been a real fan of 1 motor per shaft, simply because I always hate getting all four to operate at the same speed. also with two motors the probablity of breakdown is (prob. motor 1 break)*(prob. motor 2 break) which is roughly the same so its (break prob.)^2 while 4 motors is (break prob)^4, much higher...
