I don't know about "best optimum," but if were to do that, I think I
would write a wrapper shell script or an alias for each
configuration like this:

alias vima='vim -u ~/.vimarc'
alias vimb='vim -u ~/.vimbrc'

etc. Then in each vimrc file I would define 'runtimepath' to refer
to a different personal configuration directory for each
configuration, e.g.,

let &rtp = $HOME.'/.vima,'.$VIM.'/vimfiles,'.$VIMRUNTIME.','$VIM.'/vimfiles/after,'.$HOME.'.vima/after'

If you want to use common settings for most options, you
could source your common ~/.vimrc in each project-specific vimrc:

source ~/.vimrc
