I've built both (single and double sensors). You're going to have to play
with the design of your robot. The programs are fairly quick, but if your bot
starts swinging back and forth, the light sensor might not pick up the line
all the time. Keeping the sensor close to the line helps.
The only thing I coould suggest for double sensors is change your programming
around. Instead of following a black line, follow two white lines. One
sensor on each side. When one hits the black, turn that way.
