A 4870 X2 is two 4870's on a single card. A single 4870 X2 performs atleast as good, and many times a hair better as two seperate 4870's. It's also slightly cheaper and will consume slightly less power. On top of that, it would only take up a single PCIe slot.
Ther is really no reason NOT to get a 4870 X2 in your scenario unless you already own a single 4870 and are just buying one more for crossfire.
