dual sump pumps - size of discharge pipe

I need dual sumps in same pit and am installing (2) 1/2 HP Zoeller or Stormpro (hand dug foundation. Big water issue. Not your usual basement). If I tie them in together, what size PVC discharge pipe in basement? Zoellers are 1 1/2 inch so would 2 inch PVC line be ok if the two are tied together? Someone recommended 2 separate discharge lines in case one gets clogged but i never had a line get clogged in basement. If you install a bigger line (3 inches), does this have any effect?
