Oooooh......long discussion on that one.

Short answer is that there are great players that use both. I mean either one not both.

If you are comfortable double lip, the advantage is that you have the greatest flexibility it tone and pitch. You could look up Harold Wright to listen to his playing. Amongst the most beautiful sounds ever. My favorite recording of all time is the Boston Chamber players performing the Schubert Octet for Winds and Strings.

The vast majority of players out there are single lip which allows a bit more physicality (and in my opinion trade off some subtlety). I'm pretty sure Ricardo Morales is a single lip player and he sounds fantastic.

But whichever works best for you is the way to go.
