Should my husband and I have the same W-4 inputs to calculate our federal withholding?

I will be starting a new job in the new year. As such, my husband and I will earn a combined income of ~$250k in base compensation. Based on my W-4 inputs, I should claim 0 exemptions and have an additional $420.00 withheld per paycheck. Should my husband claim the same and also have the same additional $420.00 amount withheld per pay? -OR- are we supposed to divide the $420.00 and each have $210.00 withheld per pay?
