Running wire to receptacles

I've got 6 receptacles to wire in a single room and plan on using 2 circuits. Can I run 2, 12/2 wires together through the same holes in the studs?

Thanks

Electrical subpanel

I have a 50 Amp subpanel in a shop that is 180 feet from my main. It is powered by two #2 aluminum and a #4 ground (also grounded at the shop), direct burial wire. I now find that I would like to run a 50 Amp welder out there. My question is: will the wire support a 70 Amp breaker or do I need to look for another alternative?

It's been hinted at in the forum but I don't think anyone has asked it out right: what are the advantages of running home shop equipment on 220 vs 110?
