Cam timing and cam lean are thing you need to worry about on dual cams more so the single cams. Single cams tend to have a smoother draw. Dual cams tend to be a little faster. You might have to switch arrow spin using a dual cam because they are considered a hard cam.
When I was test shooting I made sure to shoot both (it's hard not to really). Personally I liked the single cam better. IMO the dual cams I shot had a more smooth draw, but they had a harder hit on the release. The single cam I shot (z7 xtreme), which I ended up with, didn't have quite as smooth as draw but it felt much better on the release. Speed is a factor as well. Like headstrong stated, you typically get more speed out of a dual cam bow. The bear carnage kind of makes an exception to this but I have never shot it to be able to tell you as a comparison to the daul cams.
