Both - ideally you should only have one trigger per object. The issue with having multiple triggers, with the same event on the same object, is you cannot guarantee the order that they will execute.

From the Salesforce order of execution documentation: https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm

The order of execution isn’t guaranteed when having multiple triggers for the same object due to the same event. For example, if you have two before insert triggers for Case, and a new Case record is inserted that fires the two triggers, the order in which these triggers fire isn’t guaranteed.

Also more information here: Order of execution of trigger and workflow

If I had seen that answer before I probably would have flagged this question as a duplicate...

  • Added more detail in my answer, but you can easily see what triggers fire by either using the developer console or the debug logs.
