I have run every hydro method except NFT and I have done in between 4 plants and 10 plants at a time. Certainly not a huge grow but I would not EVER do anything but RDWC. I have yet to see another method produce a better result in terms of overall speed, vigor and yield than RDWC.

Instead of drip, I spray from the top using low pressure mist heads. I can adjust for as many or as few feedings per day (as well as amount of nutrient spraying per cycle) as the plants can handle
Instead of coco, I use a combination of ornamental stones (as a top cap) and lava rock below for root development/retention
Air Pots for many reasons
I do not find D2W necessary until mid-flower, when the runoff and pH get crazy
commercial size hydro grow may require alot if not more maintenence than soil[pH testing, ppm,changing rez. etc]. besides that, if you factor in speed/size then you cant go wrong with bucket drip because it utilizes up to 5 gallon buckets, providing alot of space for the roots which is essential for larger plants. also its very easy to set up more so than the others IMO
