Doing the separate links would be the best option. You have a little more control over the quality of each link as opposed to one link possibly bringing down the whole AP.
I am not really sure WDS is going to help you much. WDS mostly provides L2 access, if you CPE is a bridged CPE. I am not sure you will see much benefit from WDS. I thought, and I could be wrong, that WDSing all the clients on one AP halves the bandwidth of the clients. I could be wrong.
