Depends what's considered a better result when one of the hosts goes down-
1. Master & backup model: The entire site goes down for a period, then comes back up in full once switched to the backup server.
1a. If it's the backup host that goes down, there is no interruption to service.
2. Round-robin model: Due to one of the servers being down, half the requests time out.
