IMHO, it is better to take two top bunks because the bottom bunks are supposed to be shared as seats during the daytime. Also, the table between the seats only extends part way and is only usable by two people at a time. If you are on the bottom bunks you are supposed to get up and leave (stand in the hallway looking out the window) for a while to let the top bunk holders use it. If you take the top bunks you are less likely to break the rules of train etiquette.
