I have one website.
I have two domain names that I want to point to the same site install.

So whether you go to name-one.com or name-two.com you see the exact same site.

Now, I can either set up name-two.com to serve 301 redirect header redirecting to name-one.com – or, I can set up name-two.com as a CNAME in the DNS pointing to name-one.com

What is the different implications for SEO on this? What is recommended?

I would guess it's better for branding to use a 301 redirect, so that visitors will see one consistent url for my site, right?

The reason I want the two domains is that I want a version with regional letters ('ö' instead of 'oe' ) in the name.

Having two URLs offer the same content is a bad thing from an SEO point of view, as you seem to well well aware of. So you need to tell Google which URL is the primary URL and the secondary URL is just a duplicate of the first.

If you want both domains to work then use cname to point the two to the same site and then use canonical URLs to indicate the primary domain/URLs
If you want the secondary domain just to redirect to the primary domain use 301 redirects to forward users from one site to the other
