Save as PDF best practices


i'm designing book in indesign i'm placing numerous simple illustrator icons, each 1 of used repeatedly. sake of example, let's there 3 icons: square, circle, , triangle, in same illustrator file (cs6) on different artboards. when placing in id, best practice 1) place them using "show import options" , choose correct icon of three, or 2) save each icon separate pdf ai? (it seems when each file contains of icons, not 1 chose save.) when choose 1), every time make a  change ai file, must re-place file in id. i'd avoid having separate ai file each icon because want keep them , same size. guess idea (which i've done before) copy icon out of illustrator , paste id, it's not possible replace bunch of icons @ once. feel there's obvious i'm missing!

i go artboard way, because have 1 file.

 

also: use ai file (saved "pdf compatibility" turned on).

 

what happen when saving ai or pdf:
