Note that if you do go to a single N-FET solution, you will still need a diode in place of the top N-FET. This is a simple solution (1 N-FET and no ADP3417), but due to the 0.6 volt drop on the diode, you will waste some power in the diode.
A slightly more efficient solution (and more complex) is to keep both the high and low N-FET devices and the ADP3417. Now instead of dropping 0.6 volts across a diode in the "off" times, you will pass through the N-FET with very little voltage drop, and thus less wasted power.
If you use the 1/2 bridge solution with 24 volts, the ADP3417 will not work, but you can replace it with an International Rectifier IR2104.
