Sometimes one arm is nice because you can reach servers directly, bypassing the LB. It gives you a quick way of seeing if the LB is causing a reported issue. Two arm is nice because you can enforce all traffic from servers to go through the LB. Of course, you can still directly access servers and enforce traffic in either mode with VLANs and other creative architecture configurations. If you have no need for DSR and will use the LB in reverse proxy mode for everything I think that one-arm is easiest to manage.
