Solo player question before starting...

Hi folks, I'm just in the process of painting my minitures to start the CS campaign, I've played a number of missions of Maladum purely solo (as that is how the game was developed as). I'll be playing CS solo as well and I'm wondering if I should just play with one crew, or to play 2 crews semi-coop (with myself having no allegiance to either)... I've got a document that can 'control' a second crew as AI (from BBG) and I've also got all the NPC addons (Galactic Corps etc...) that I could throw in but I'm curious what others have done?
