I have seen that to obtain the CCNA you can either do one exam 640-802 or do two exam the 640-822 icdn1 and 640-816 icdn2. which one is the best option. i have done the Network+ and have just obtain my MCSA.

Not sure which one to go for. any suggestions

why not take some sample exams to measure which fits you better?

It is personal preference. It mostly depends on how you want to study for it. 2 exam option if you want to split it into smaller chunks. 1 exam option if you're okay with studying a wider range of topics. You get a CCNA at the end of both routes although the two exam option will get you CCENT as well after the first exam.

I went the two test route. Breaking up the exam should help you retain the information better rather than cram for one large one
