I have two domains and have slightly different layout. What is the best practice to where I can take advantage of the data that is there but separate the data per domain as well. Should I use different document types for each website I have?
If your data is going to be consistent, then you can just use different templates to display the sites with a different layouts (or even different style sheets if possible). However, if there's a likelihood that the data will vary across sites at any point, then use different document types as it can be difficult to change the document types of nodes after the structure is constructed.
I always err on the side of caution and excercise repetition over normalisation of document types whenever there's a chance of change at any point. It can sometimes feel a little 'dirty' but invariably it's the right choice.
Multiple Domains with slighty different templates

Hi Dan,
So it sounds like to create the site and separate the Docmuent types with new ones so later flexibility is there is best.
Thanks
