Running with two monitors and having it go across both would not be ideal at all. You would have the monitor bezel right across the center of your screen which is where all the action takes place. You wouldn't see any of it. Having two monitors is still nice. You can still play on one screen and then have whatever else you want on the other. Like, messaging programs, VoIP clients, a web browser and whatever else you want. You can look at them without having to alt-tab.
That's hilarious about the maneuverability on eyefinity. I think I'll ultimately end up going with two monitors, one for the game, one for anything else I need to do outside of the game. I think when I originally got the idea of playing on dual-monitors, I imagined it being like my work set up, where my main screen is in front of me, but I have the extended desktop on the second monitor. I had envisioned having my character centered in monitor 1, and an extended view going right. It seemed awesome in my head, but I now know it's not the case. So single monitor it is...
Although I am saving up for an IPS monitor. Does anyone know if IPS makes any difference in the appearance of this game?
Most likely the IPS monitor will make the game look a lot sexier. IPS generally have more accurate colors and deeper blacks which makes for a much better experience.
Also if you plan on running two monitors you CAN. You just can't do Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround. make the second monitor just a normal extended desktop and the game will run in the primary screen alone while the other screen is free for browsing music, etc.

I've seen vids of 3 monitor setups. It looks nice and all but there are some issues.
1. It doesn't natively support any res higher than 2560x1600 (at least in BETA) so running dual monitors means you have to put the game into windowed mode and stretch it.
2. Because it doesn't natively support eyefinity or Nvidia Surround items that should be off the screen don't spawn till they are in range, and some things look a little messed up on the sides of the screens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPxV1PxOPTo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTU-RXV9e2A
