Looking for some guidance

I'm new to the site and was having trouble getting onto the Bearded Dragon forum, so i'll just post my questions/concerns here. I am about to get my first Bearded Dragon, my first reptile in a long time. Preferably, i'd like to get two. But my question is would it be beneficial to me to wait on getting the second one a few months/a year later, or should i go ahead and get both of them now? I don't want to strictly breed them, (more for companionship purposes) however, breeding is definately something i want to try and do in the future. My second question is if i do go ahead and get them both now, should i split them up from the get go, or keep them together for a while until 5-6months so that they can't try and mate before they are physically matured? And the same question goes for vice-versa? (If i was to wait to get the second dragon, do i need to wait til a certain time to introduce it to the first one?) And my third and final question (i promise) is what do you folks think about he soft aquariums, the reptariums i think they are called? They seem to be the right price compared to glass aquariums, but are there drawbacks that will not benefit my dragons? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated ! Thanks.

Baby beardies can nip each other's tails when young, so I'd seperate them until they're mating size.
If my beardie were in a reptarium, he'd constantly be climbing the walls. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

We have two. Bought them at the same time, they are clutch mates and they are housed together. I keep them in glass, but I think as far as Beardies, as long as you can keep the temps right, its a personal preference.
I heard they discontinued the reptariums. You may have to find one on E-Bay. But that's just what I heard.
