I think that having both in the same torrent is a waste of space and bandwidth.
PDFs that are already e-books I keep them as it is. Djvu too.
Should I upload PDFs or djvu if the book exists in both formats? I think that I'll choose whichever is smaller.
Books that I scan myself I'm saving in both formats just for safe keeping.

Just improved the process on making the ebooks:
- PDF clearscan produces smaller sizes if the whole text is pure 1bit. In case there are shaded graphs, photos or colored pics, I have to manually select that area so that only the text is made 1bit
- Djvu small mod produces files much smaller than those outputted by Finereader. I can even interpolate 300 dpi to 600 dpi that the filesize is still very small, like under 10mb for 400 pages
- PDFs can have page number matching the printed page number. On the other hand, there is no such option for djvu. I don't make bookmarks to release faster.
Some books that I've found have the text so jaggied that converting it to clearscan yields a PDF 10x larger than the original file, in such cases I don't add the PDF to the torrent and leave the smaller djvu only.
