Is anything wrong with having both SuperSU and Superuser installed?

Looking through my apps this morning, I noticed that I have both of these apps installed. I'm sure that I did this myself, maybe through a TiBu restore, maybe via some other way. Does having both installed cause any kind of problem and if so, should I just drag one off to uninstall, or is getting rid of one a little more complicated?

You only need one, so I'd uninstall one. Having two won't mess anything up that I know of but the app is just used to manage root access so it could get confusing as to which app is managing the access...

Is there any actual reason why one of these is better (or more stable) than the other? I noticed a few minutes ago, while doing something in the Franco app, I got a Grant or Deny request (see those every once in a while) from Superuser, so I'm guessing that's the one that my phone seems to be using.
 
Both are very similar they both do the same thing. I prefer SuperSU's interface and it seems a bit faster than superuser. SuperSU has logging too, I'm not sure if superuser has added that yet.
