An additional clarification, since you've got plenty of gpm available. The two way splitter is still valuable since you can repeatedly split sections without waiting for the ram to retract. Power is a little less on the retract stroke but not enough to be a problem.
The difference to consider is how you work. With a one way splitter, it usually have a retract detent on the valve. This means you can push it into retract position and then go get another stick of wood while it retracts. With a two way splitter it doesn't have a detent position, so you have to hold it while it retracts.
The two way works for me since I have a small stove and usually do two, three or four strokes on each round. If you typically split smaller stuff and do only one stroke per round, a traditional one way splitter might be a better choice.
I also said log tables are essential, but if you are any kind of welder/fabricator, you can add them easily.
