Evan,

I would opt for scenario no. 1: Populating the physical file and 'over time'
create those logical files. Maybe you don't need to have ALL those 20 logicals
created at once. The first logicals I would create would be the ones to be used
immediately. Then, off-hour, off-peek or whenever I would create the rest 
(trying
to balance the computer work).  Also I would try to find out how many of those
would be candidates to "share access paths" and create the most significant ones
first.

That's my view!

Leo
