Well not having the CocoSDC hardware, I can't provide help on that. Both the 
hardware and software for the SDC seem to be in flux so you should contact the 
developers directly.
Whether you prefer .vhd type disks with both OS-9 and multiple Basic partitions 
or individual disk images would depend on whether you want to swap images with 
other emulators and your own preferences. There is also a limit to the useful 
size of a drive/disk for a Coco. We don't work with multi-megabyte images or 
hundred megabyte games on a Coco. :)

As for me showing up in Rainbow, other Coco mags, or the NitrOS-9 project codes, 
I amaze myself. :) Where did I find the time!? Several people on this list 
remind me of this every so often when they unexpectedly find my name in some 
source code or program. :)
