I was going to recommend this option as well -- it has the advantage that you won't need to deal with getting a whole bunch of vector data and then figuring out how to render it, although it would require more disk space than rendering vectors on the fly. I estimate that rendering the US down to zoom level 16 would require about 130 million tiles, or about 40 GB of cache.
