For night ops the best is : Twin Engine IFR certified aircraft with two qualified properly trained instrument rated pilots (not just meat in the co-jo seat).

From a personal stand point; I would sooner be a passenger in a single-engine turbine IFR certified helicopter with 2 qualified pilots than be in a twin engine IFR certified helicopter with one pilot. I think the plank wing statistical data would probably support my stance.
