Form A/B/C sensors & wiring two-in-one glass breaks.

Newbie questions.

1) I'm a DIYer starting to conceptually design a system for my home. If I have a control panel with 8 zones - each zone having one sensor on it - is there any technical reason why I should not exclusively use form B (or C) sensors with this configuration?

2) This may sound like a dumb question but I dont know the answer so please tolerate my ignorance. In the above configuration - i.e. 1 sensor per zone - do non-addressable glassbreak sensors that are two-in-one devices (i.e. contact plus vibration sensor) require two sets of wires back to the control panel or do both sensors share the same loop back to control panel? Ive also seen devices that are both glass break and motion sensing do these types of devices share the same set of wires or can each sensor on such a device occupy its own zone?
