I'd recommend you ignore search speed for the time being. First, your index isn't that large from what you've described. I see clients witn 40-50M documents on a single machine (admittedly with some iron under the hood)...
Instead, I'd concentrate on designing the best user experience I could, and worry about search speed only when your testing shows you need to. The real question isn't "will X or Y be faster" IMO, it's "Will what I want be fast enough". Using distinct fields and edismax is where I'd start.
