This is a complicated question. Generally speaking, columns that are ALWAYS used together as a key should get composite indexes. The rest should have single column indexes.

I would suggest that you ask a professional designer for some assistance. It is also a good idea to test different configurations to see which would work best for your application.

Regards.
