What is the best way to do Darks?

Hi all, I thought it was time to update my CCD dark library. Done a bit of research and can't determine whether I just do darks for 20mins (the longest subs I do) and then scale them using some PI wizardry I have read about or whether I do what I did in the past and do darks for each sub length I am likely to use 2,5,10,20 mins etc ?

Second question is how many darks should I be doing for each sub length. I have read advice from 3 to 50.

Note the camera in question is a SBIG STT-8300 mono (KAF8300 chip)

Cheers
Brett
