in my opinion it's not really that important.. as long as all pages are in the sitemap. It's more the way of organizing and generating the site maps which is interesting. Normally id say. For smalldr shops get a static pages a categories and a products per category site map. For larger sites just make 3. Static pages. Categories and products.

Hope this helps

You don't have to overthink this. It's more of a personal preference.

Stick with keeping it basic (Kay's suggestion of 3 is good) and make sure they work inside webmaster tools.

Thanks Kayintveen and Dennis!

Ok but can you please tell me what is sitemapindex as per 1st one and secondly is there any sequence for <priority>0.9</priority><changefreq>daily</changefreq> as sitemap validator tools shows error if change the sequence.

Please revert!

Also don't overthink to much on the priority. 
Set your changefreq to the appropriate (this signals google to crawl this pages more often or nog) Its a mistake to set this very with the idea, "i need to get my site crawled as much as possible". For unchanging content this can be a wrong thing to do and will affect your score negatively.

But google states on this document that its not effecting your ranking at all.
