Either will probably work. Which is best depends on your motors. If the motors are rated at 1A or more then I would use the first one.

i dont know what my motor rated are cause it didnt mention on the motor or on the page that i bought it, this kit first come with melzi board then i buy ramps 1.4 and use it. right now my connection is like the first pictures that only use one pin to connect both motor.
