Hi, separated index will allow you split IO load over multiple physical drives as well as use different Analyzers (if your customers are having different content that will make sense).

I recommend a very good book Lucene in Action - just reading a first few chapters (indexing & searching) will give you a very good idea about Lucene internals, index structure and why separate indexes will be much more efficient.
