RE: One eye or both
I shoot with one eye open. I am right handed and left eye dominant and when I try to shoot with both eyes open, well lets just say it's not pretty.
How do you keep from subconsciously closing one of them in the thick of things?
shoot both ways.
3-D set up I shoot one I shut
Hunting setup both eyes open

During the 3-D shoots it is just automatic to shut one eye. It just falls in line with the rest my form and anchoring. Through repetition I just do it[8D]

RE: One eye or both
One eye open (left eye dominant, left handed). If I try to open my right eye, I see two targets, or two sets of pins, or bizarre freaky things. 
Even in the Coast Guard, way way back in the days of bootcamp.... I remember, I just COULD NOT shoot the M16 righty. I was one of those "special recruits" where the had to clip a shroud of some sort onto the ejection port, so I wouldn't get biffed by ejecting shells. Anyway, I shot the M16 lefty and qualified easily with it.
My old PSE bow is a lefty model. My Remington 870 12GA is a lefty model. But my old Marlin Model 60 .22 is righty (which doesn't really matter shooting it lefty - I just learned to hold my right elbow down bit when I was a kid.

Right handed bow, left eye dominant. Trained myself to shoot with both eyes open, now if I close one, it's way to dark. Whatever works for you, but try to master both open, it's a whole new world when you can.
