Certainly use ONE space in typography.
However, many people use two spaces in manuscripts. It makes them easier to read.
I had one client that required two spaces in typeset material, on the argument that one space made the type look crowded. He paid for the extra spaces; I provided them.
Basic rule: Ask who is in charge here? Do what she requires.
If you get to choose, choose one space. Removing extra spaces is one of the easiest search-and-replace steps anybody can take.
