Actually, we'll wont have duplicate objects since the machines are peered.

We got a server w/ 8GB of RAM for caching lots of small objects in

I calculated that 32bit squid uses about 115 bytes per object,
64bit squid uses 165 bytes.

conclusion: w/ large amount of memory, it's better to run multiple
instances of squid if you want to maximize the number of objects
you can store. In my configuration, I can store 25% more objects.
Obviously, this setup would be a little more complex to maintain.
What you have not calculated however is how much memory you loose
because you are storing the same object in both caches.
