Violins record

Hello

i want to record violins for my album and i want to know what is best to do-

record all players together or each player apart.

I'm recording first+second violin, viola, cello and con bass.



the violin player says she think its best apart because if one of the players make mistake we have to do it from the start and it save time to do apart. also she said i can be more personal with each player about what i want from the sound.



1- what is best for a limited budget?

2- is there a major difference in sound?

3- is it ok to enter midi files to sibelius and give it to the players or i need someone professional to check out the sheet notes?



*sorry for my poor english, i try my best.



thanks !
