Well I would guess you want the outboard to quit first since if the inboard is running by itself, it will yaw the plane outward. The opposite (outboard running, inboard off) would yaw the plane inward---not a comfortable position to be in!

With my experience with twins is that if the plane is set up to fly stunt well then as long as you fly level it doesn't matter. Just don't try any maneuvers LL~ HB~> They will have less line tension with outboard motor but it never seemed that bad.
