Probably parallel would be best for speed.

It is not necessary to use buldacct to create your directory and catalogs.

Storing and restoring your directories are much better.

You really only need to use buldacct if migrating groups/accounts from one
volume set to another.

Using buldacct for any other purpose will cause you more grief than you
want - particularly if you utilize posix directories (and they are used
whether you know it or not).
