Planter closing wheels

Just got some yetter twister closing wheels for our planter. Anyone out there have a recommendation on weather to use one with a rubber wheel or two? We have silty loam soils but get in to sand as well

Here in NE I don't think you'll have problem with 2. In my perspective you want as much symmetry on each row when conditions permit. We ran one wheel of Furrow cruiser and one rubber wheel last year with good results. We went that route because it showed in different plot trials that one spiked wheel was was about as much bushel advantage as having two but with half as much investment.
