it's entirely up to you and your spouse.
we had ours 2 years apart, but not by choice, it just happened that way. But it was good because the older child was just outgrowing all the equipment just as the yournger was growing into it.

I think it is a personal decision. I think it is something that ultimately has to be decided between you and your husband, partner, significant other. However, being that you asked on here, I will share my opinion. After our having one biological child, and then not able to conceive, and then after 5 1/2 years, we adopted our second son from Paraguay and he was 2 1/2 years old, then we adopted our daughter(which the country of Chile had told us wouldn't happen but when God is involve, there is no stopping it!!)two months later, who was then, 13 months old! So in school, they are two grades apart and while in the lower grades, elementary school, it wasn't a big deal. It was a lot now that they hit into the high school!!! I would say, that if you have a choice, I would space them out 4 years apart. They'll still be close, and you can handle their ages, stages, etc. I hope it all works out for you!

Hell no dont have them back to back. I say get one out of diapers before you have another one. I have 3 children the oldest is 9, then 3 (the age gap is a PAIN) and the baby is 6 mo. The 3 year age gap is good. But not any sooner.

That really depends on you and what you want. When you have kids, you may decide to wait to have more. Sometimes it can be difficult to have two kids in diapers, but when they are older they can be the best of friends. It really depends on preferance more than anything. You will probably be better able to make this decision once you have your first.

There is no sure right answer to this one, but by personal experiences I think 3-4 years is perfect. My girls are close enough in age to still play, but far enough to not compete. In addition I really got to enjoy their milestones without having both in diapers and needing to be held and carried everywhere.

It all depends on you. If you want them to be all about the same age, have them back to back. I would have them 1 - 2 yeard apart.
Good luck!
