I might opt for #2, though I also might try to debug most of the time in
a single process so I could easily step into things as needed.  Multiple
projects may help when debugging two processes if only to have different
project names in the window titles.  The files a project contains has no
affect on runtime behavior in the debugger, so I'd include the set of
files that I wanted to use project-wide tools such as search in files,
find uses, and refactoring on.
