Definitely go with a batch capture and capture the B-Roll into its own bin and interviews into another. That way you can leave both bins open side by side. Once you've logged your clips and the batch capture options window opens you can select the option for FCP to add Handles for you and you can also determine how long you want them to be. 5 sec. is usually enough. Also don't forget to prep your tape when shooting by recording bars and at least 7sec. (5 should be eonugh but I don't like taking chances) of preroll before each shot if your using time of day.
