I am curious about the pros & cons of 2 pot (tele) and 4 pot (les paul) controls on guitars with 2 pickups.

Welcome to the Forum guitar fogie! An interesting question. You don't need pots if you just run hot with a switch for pick-up selection.

Not quite true.
Keef was partial to using one these at one point

Separate controls can be set differently for each pickup, and you can radically alter the sound of the guitar at a flick of a switch (Jimmy Page does this a fair bit when playing his Les Paul live).
Old school channel switching with a single channel amp.
