There is no "need" to have separate shutoffs; but somewhere down the line you'll run into a situation where you need one shut off and one left on (repairs on the other taking it out of commission, quick use of 1 in winter, etc) and that separate shut off will be a godsend. Make sure you replace them with a ball valve with drain, none of those spigot types; those GMG.
