Debate wanted: mount points or symlinks

I'm configuring a system now, and I have a choice.

This is a small, single-application system. There are two user directories
(call 'em /usr/users/foo and /usr/users/bar) that will need more space than
can be provided on the system disk. The system has an additional 9gb disk
(call it dsk1) that we will use for these two directories.

The question is, which would be better?

a. Create two filesets on dsk1 and mount them at /usr/users/foo and
/usr/users/bar mount points?

b. Create one file set on dsk1 and symlink /usr/users/foo and /usr/users/bar
to directories in that one fileset?
