Help switching items

[GreenEspeon]

Okay. I have a jolteon and starmie on one of my teams. Jolteon and starmie have the same sp. attack. 291. Right now I have starmie holding choice specs and Jolteon holding life orb. I don't want two of the same items on pokemon. I want different items on each pokemon. I know jolteon does some serious damage with the life orb. Since Starmie has the same sp. attack, I know he can do a lot with life orb. The only problem is starmie has been able to knock out a lot of pokemon with the specs, and Jolteon hasn't, But I was battling my brother and had to keep switching starmie with a different pokemon because I could only use the move I previously used. His team is a sandstorm team with a dragon and grass/dark type that has sand veil. So what do you think I should do? Shoul I keep the items the way they are or should I swap them with each other?

Starmie likes to be able to switch attacks without having to switch Pokémon, and, should you choose to use it, it also gets Recover to help with residual damage, so I would have Starmie with Life Orb and Jolteon with Specs.

Use a life orb or Expert belt on Starmie and a Specs on jolteon

EDIT: BlueRabbit already ninjad me

Thanks for your help. I've decided to go with your suggestion and use recover on it. Right now the moves are Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Recover. It works out pretty well. Well in the battle frontier at least. Lol. I'm probably going to test is out on pbr in a bit. Thanks again for all who made suggestions. ;121; says thanks also!
