Why ask when you can just try both scenarios pretty easily?
Simple example for possible issues (might be more): Cygwin seems to modify the global REGISTRY with a "Install for everyone" (as Admin). What will happen then? Can Cygwin installations installed as non-admin interact via Windows REGISTRY, or other unexpected ways? So testing by a non-expert like me might not uncover such things immediately, so I better ask the experts here @Corinna Vinschen ?
