i think the common practice is that if you are stitching over 2 threads then use 2, if stitching over 1 use 1.

2 over 2 means   2 threads over two boxes (think of a tic-tac-toe grid and each hole is one of the spots in a tic-tac-toe board.  You would make you cross in the 6th to 3rd hole and your returning stitch to make the 'X' in the 9th to 1st hole)
1 over 1 means   1 thread over 1 box (think of the open holes in aida fabric)
