Using a lot of dynamic fields, I'd like to simplify the field types. I had a question on this: is there an advantage to have a field declared as single valued, as opposed to multi-valued?
The response of single valued fields is smaller (no encapsulating array), you can sort on it if you need to, and (upcoming) optimizations for faceted browsing on a single-valued field are easier.
From the perspective of pure full-text searching only, there is no advantage.
