The answer is yes. Run the two coax's you are better off.
A diplexor can be used to combine signals outside then split them back up at the receiver, but I've read a mixed bag on this method.

I no longer use di-plexors, but it worked great when I had a DP34 in place.

I see many of the complaints when trying to di-plex with a DPP44, most people that I know that have run into the issues are not using the DPP approved di-plexor sets.

Having said this, I personally prefer not to di-plex.
