I agree with Jeff, those 2 solution should work well indeed to have distinct cluster (data will be fixed in time, not synchronised).
It really depends on you but basically having hybride data storage structures is not an issue at all in both cases as it is something that you can set in the cassandra.yaml at the node level.
