I'm erring to the former, but thought I'd put this question out there .
Any advice greatly appreciated .

I recommend putting the entire movie with dialogue and FX in your master template as you describe with your basic instrumentation laid out as well. Then saving each as it's own Pro Tools session or cue as described above to do your major writing on a cue by cue basis (each one having it's own tempo map, etc…)
Then I would recommend printing all your instruments with Commit or Track Bounce as stems and taking all those stems files and placing them into one master full length session so that you can mix them against each other. This allows you then to deliver that as a fully edited and mixed session (keeping it virtual all the way to the end) to the dub stage ready for them to tweak as needed. We showed this workflow in our Pro Mixing Webinar "How to Create and Indie Soundtrack" which you can watch online….
