I run two independent X sessions per monitor. The drawback being that I
could not drag windows between screens. but in 10+ years with this setup it
has never been an issue.
The benefits:
 * Different resolutions no problem
 * Independent workspace swithing per monitor

Caveats:
 * Configs are independent (maybe a benefit), double toolbar, double clock,
and can configure behaviof for each
 * No fancy moving apps between screens, but again never really had to
other than when people see dual monitor setup and want to see that piece of
magic. No such showing off.
* No xinerama, so maximization is per monitor, also full screen, which
hasn't been a problem for me
 * Focus has works fine between both screens as mouse can jump over
perfectly, but if you have full screen on one monitor and click something
on the other, then it exits full screen (can vary on app)
