Its very popular these days that people are flying redundant altimeters from the get-go when they start doing dual-deploy. I used to encourage at my club that novices fly single altimeter alot before going to redundant systems. These would be for modest flights where the trajectory would be safe if there is a failure.
The reason if you fly redundant while learning, that will cover up a lot of bad practices. Fly a few rockets into the ground and you will learn proper electronics technique quickly. I understand why this may not be a popular view.
