Two fans are better than one. In the case of failure, you've got another. Plus, radiators are usually wide and short rather than square. Two fans give better coverage in most cases. Two relays? Again, sometimes relays fail. Plus, they'll last way longer if they only switch the load of one fan rather than two.
