Independent branches have no effect on superlibrarians. If you want to
see the effect on staff client side, you need to take away the
superlibrarian permission and use granular permission settings, that way
you will only see patrons of your own library in a patron search etc. I
don't know if that has an effect on bibliographic searches.

I'd assume the server that is able to run 20 small libraries in one
instance will also run 20 seperate instances for these libraries. And it
allows individual settings, too. You could set up a master instance with
the basic settings and populate the other instances from that to avoid
manually setting up 20 instances.

HTH,
