I agree with the second part, however, if given a choice I would

do server/client mode, This way you only have to create your VLANS

once on the server, they should then pass to the clients if your

trunks are ok

First things first, make sure you use vtp transparent mode unless

otherwise specified.

Server/client mode will just blast the same vlans to all the switches.

Secondly, draw out a layer 2 diagram noting which devices are in which

vlans and the switches they are connected to. Only configure the vlans

on the switches they connect to (and any transit switch as well).
