It is certainly your call -- I think either way could work well.  My
reason for suggesting a "combined" image is to save valuable screen
real estate.  I'd guess that at least 90% of the hosts on the Internet
or your average LAN would qualify as "general purpose" (e.g. Windows,
OS X, or Linux boxes).  So it seemed a bit redundant to show a bunch
of big "general computer" icons.  In those cases, I think the vendor
is most important.  Hmm, maybe a better solution would be to simply
omit the "device type" logo when it is "general purpose"?  That would
make the printers, routers, and other more specialized devices stand
out better (because they would have both vendor and device type
logos).

Cheers,
