Two filaments on a battery: bad luck?

I have a couple 30's that I'd like to play with as the VA stage in a preamplifier. Is it a bad idea to use a single battery for both filaments, or should I really be using two?

Also, as I place cells in series, what effect does this have on the amp-hour rating of the battery? Do two 1000mAh cells make a 2000mAh battery, or simply a 1000mAh battery with a higher voltage?
