Does anybody have an option on what the best practice should be?
The pros for single sheets I thought of is:

You are mixing 2 or 3 different methods.
1) Multiple sheet per file.
2) Aligning sheets with model Coordinate Space
3) Scaling methods 1:1 vs Scale references to sheet size
As for multiple sheets.
Pros
- Easier File Management
Cons
- Limits amount of people who can work on a project
- May make for large file. Therefore slower to open and larger backups.

We're an A/E firm and generally use the one sheet model per DGN file, although if we need to present essentially the same info in another way (for presentation or maybe a plot with just a sub-set of the annotation), we try to use another sheet model in the same DGN. Even in situations where we could get the result by turning off levels, I prefer to have another model defined so if someone needs to replicate that plot, they know where to go (plots are stamped w/ DGN file and model).
If you have a 12 sheet plan sheet are the all in one dgn?
