Try type II restriction enzymes. They cleave outside of their recognition sites. So you can use one vector for different inserts.
There may be a type I enzyme site for TEV site, I haven't found a good one yet. It's likely some inserts will have the same site internally, making the vector less useful. BTW, Accelagen has TurboTEV with dual GST- and His-tags. TurboTEV is stabilized through a mechanism different from the common S219 mutations. So it does not infringe the recently issued Yale patent.

Having the protease site too close to the protein can often make it difficult to cut.
