Assuming you make use of single port devices all from the same vendor and
the then the same model/production run.  While a number of them do base
themselves on the same chipsets not all make use of the same driver
software, and some are worse than others.  Then there's the USB bandwidth
and power issues.  There you're running up against how well (or poorly) the
hardware and drivers for the USB ports are set up.

I'll trade time wasted wrestling with bad drivers for a few extra bucks on a
multi-port instead.
