I agree that Fusion Tables are the way to go. The last time I checked, you could not have different markers based on site (indeed, all the markers were the same). I ended up using the FusionTables interface to iterate through the table, building regular markers (after geoCoding an address), selecting different icons depending on one of the columns of the table. It diminishes some of the magic of Fusion Tables, but it was not difficult.
