I've been reading several articles on how to build a Guanella 4:1
current balun. Some articles show a single toroidal core being used
for all windings, and some articles show two separate toroidal cores
being used. Which is better?

The single core does not work properly, see http://vk1od.net/balun/gsc/ .
