I really don't think so, i mean for the fact that if one filter goes out the other one still works, yes, but overall one filter should be fine and work best since it should cycle the water evenly. Remember that for cleaning you should do water changes with vacuuming the gravel at least once a month, I personally prefer to do a vacuum of my tanks once a week or bi-weekly depending on the visual and measured situation of the water. By vacuuming you automatically drain out water (obviously) and so allows for fresh clean water to be added. I suggest you get a decent amount of live plants which really help in keeping your tank clean, clear, and healthy by getting rid of your fish waste.
These three components (water changes, plants, and filter) to the job very well.
Be sure to check your filter pad every time you do a water change, just to get in the habit of it, its very easy to forget about and you don't want to do a water change and leave a dirty filter pad in your filter.
Additionally, I suggest you go for a filter that is made to suit a larger tank than the one you are going to put it on, just so you get enough filter power going. This does not apply if you have an expensive canister filter. They are expensive enough already but are considered some of the best filters for someone who is willing to spend a bunch of dollars on filters.
A downside to doing multiple filters instead of one is that you will need twice the filter materials and the filter pads will likely go bad simultaneously and so your cost to replace filter pads (aka running cost) is twice as high.
additionally, the way most filters work, they suck in water from the bottom and spit it out from the top, creating a flow cycle in your aquarium as you may be able to tell with how fishfood or poop moves in the water current made by your filter. You will likely have some fish in your larger tank later on that want rather still water so two filters would make twice the current and water cycle, thus creating more flow throughout the tank, something that often isn't favorable for some bottom and middle dwellers as well as long background plants as this can uproot them
