Does anyone know any good reason for arming Interceptors with 
different weapons in the two slots?

>From experience it seems that using both weapon bays for the
same weapon make the best combo. Even at the start the Cannon
is pretty useless (I sell them, & all their ammo). An
Interceptor with two Stingray (?) Launchers can handle all
the smaller UFOs, & one with two Avalanche Launches can
handle Medium UFOs (& even threaten Large UFOs if it has
back-up).

does anyone bother with the Laser Cannon? Plasma Beams & then
Fusion Ball Lauchers appear to be the best research pathway
to follow...
