There is no correct answer to your question. The design must follow your use cases, not anyone's 
personal preferences. If your use cases are complex, it might make sense to seperate different 
types of users into different branches. If they are simple, then it probably does not. Architecture 
and design which is not based on use cases is a waste of time, effort, and money.
