I don't have a lot of experience with this problem myself, but I've read enough posts to know there can be a lot of issues with conditional text when there are a lot of conditions and/or overlapping conditions. So you might want to weigh the pros and cons of using conditions in a single document set versus using text insets in multiple document sets. In other words, one approach is to create a single document set and use variables and conditions to handle differences. The other approach is to create multiple different document sets and use text insets to handle similarities. If there's a lot of differing content, or many instances where info is common to several but not all sites, then using insets might be the better strategy.
