I lost root after the recent OTA and re-rooted my XT912 yesterday using Matt's utility (1.82, I think is the latest).

 

I'd installed SuperSU after I'd rooted before, and now after re-rooting I also have Superuser which I'm assuming was installed as part of the utility.

 

Is there any reason I need both?  If not, which should I uninstall?

You could remove either basically since they do the same thing. And yes, Matts utility install Koush's Superuser with the blue icon and hash sign.

You don't need both.  Only one will work anyway.  Matter of personal preference...

If you want to keep SuperSU, there is an option inside the program to uninstall other superuser programs. I wasn't able to uninstall Superuser through the Playstore link.

I wound up uninstalling SuperSU, since the utility installed Superuser by default, and installed Voodoo for future OTAs (if they ever come).
