It is going to be the safest design practice and
the easiest to guarantee you have met timing.  Even
with slow clocks it is best to use a single clock
and a single edge in most cases (there are always
exceptions).

The Altera Quartus synthesis guide is a reasonable
reference and will do a better job describing the
pitfalls than I would in a short response.

See section "Synchronous FPGA Design Practices" on
page12-2 in the following document and specifically
"Clocking Schemes" on page 12-7.

Hope that helps,
Chris
