I love the magic loop method, and make all my socks toe-up, two at a time that way. You can certainly knit socks one at a time that way, though. If you have a shorter cable, knit them one at a time, with a longer cable, you can do two.
I haven't tried the double knitting technique and agree it looks way cool, but I always knit while doing other things, and that looks like to requires a lot more attention that I would probably give it--at least in the learning stages. I do have a preference for circulars over dpns for socks, but happily use either for other things.
