You can use the seal nut in place of the outer nut, but it wouldn't hurt to double-nut. You want the height just right or the hollow threaded part will push through the boot and spread it open making it useless.
I use one nut inside and one outside and tighten the s**t out of it so it won't work loose - I've rewired many meter boxes because someone didn't get it tightened properly and when the switch seized some idiot customer grabbed a pair of pliers and kept trying to turn it until the wiring got completely twisted off.
