Redis Connection - Multiplex it or not?

In terms of performance, is it better to multiplex 1 connection object across multiple requests or to give each request it's own connection?

Well, what redis client are you using? StackExchange.Redis is explicitly designed to be multiplexed and shared between multiple requests (or any other parallel load); other clients may not be, and may require you to lease from a pool per request (or for some portion of a request). There is quite a lot of overhead involved in establishing a connection with redis (optionally DNS, sockets, optionally TLS, and a bit of chit-chat backwards and forwards to determine the redis server configuration), so you don't want to completely establish a new underlying connection per request (even if it is fast).
