I would say that "whatever works for you" is just fine. If you wind up
with many different style sheets, you can always combine them on the
server before downloading. Heck, you can even strip white space and
comments at the same time if you are worried about the size.

The download for even very large CSS and JavaScript files need not
be much of a performance hit if you make sure they are gZipped.
Unlike images, which are already compressed, these text files shrink
a lot when zipped.

Cordially,
David
