Anyone tried both systems (maybe on a different bike even) ? is there any benefit of one over the other ??

The main reason for using two separate lines directly from the master cylinder is to ensure equal pressure at each caliper - this is typically on road/sports bikes that have one hose to the first caliper, then a short bridging hose over the front mudguard to the second caliper (eg. Ducati 996).
Of course in reality the difference is going to be pretty miniscule, and lets face it, both discs are bolted to the same wheel, but there you go...
With the Tenere as you say, the single hose from the master cylinder joins a T piece on the lower fork crown, so the fluid is pretty much split equally anyway... I'd go for a similar set-up as it looks more tidy?
