Was originally planning twin 140's, and may still do so. The Yak is a big draggy plane.
Yes, if you go twins, I would go with the biggest engine that makes sense. With two engines, you double the chance of an engine failure and if the aircraft can't fly on one engine, then you double the chance of an engine-out related crash. Two 140's would be better than two 100's - as long as the added engine weight and fuel capacity required wouldn't make it too heavy...
BTW, I think bi-pipes sound cool - much more like a real aircraft...
