2x4GB RAM can run in dual-channel mode, which is a little faster than a single stick. Of course, your RAM can only run in dual-channel mode if your motherboard supports this.

A single 8GB has one advantage: If you have a microATX motherboard chances are that you got only two RAM slots. Because 16GB RAM has became more relevant lately you could easily upgrade with one more single 8GB if you want.

That's if you find a stick that will play with the original. Mixing can be and often is problematic, even if you get an stick of the same identical model.
