Twins - sleeping arrangements

I have been planning to purchase a twin pack and play and put the babies in our room in the pack and play at first but have since heard a lot of conflicting opinions on this. I have heard that a co-sleeper is plenty big for two twin newborns and is absolutely the way to go, I have heard to put them in the same crib in their own room, separate cribs, individual pack and plays, to use bassinets, etc., etc. Any of you expectings multiples already have a plan in place or any of those who already have twins have something that worked particularly well for you?

I am registered for the twin pack and play and it is only available online so I probably won't get it but I have a shower coming up in a couple of weeks and want to decide by then!!!

i know exactly what you mean, i work in a hosptial so i asked the maternity ward nurses what they thought, they all said to keep them in separate bassinets at night to sleep, (because if one wakes up, we dont want the other to get woken up) and when i move them to the cribs i can put them together or seperate... they basically said each set of twins is different and to test it out... they did recommend to swaddle them at night at all times... and also to buy the sleeper with an incline and for the babies to lay on their backs! good luck.... im sure it will all come natural to us once they come!
