Well I like to FIM the several times over, this time using a net, due to lack of height. If you FIM them, you can either remove the top completly so the branches below grow up as a dual headers and so forth, you can also pinch the top/s, thereby it can evolve in to several tops, choice is your...

imo it doens't really matter if you're scrogging you can do either one or neither, scrogging will be your primary training which is essentially just LST on every branch.
i'd top them once and then get to tucking.

I'm thinking that the veg should be quicker if I have four branches instead of one?

Correct. Let the main stem grow up the vertical trellis at least halfway, then top it and clean things up to keep just 4-6 'meristems', or primary branches.
Let these grow to cover most of the panel and then top them as well. The secondary growth should then fill in the area of the trellis panel, at which point you should flip into bloom.

I did this 4-top method for my first time this grow. It definitely set me back a week or so in the grow, but it is also going to pay off with the canopy management. I plan on letting these get about 2' tall then flipping under my qb's
I some people do an extra topping, i'm gonna go for four main cola's with no nets. I want to be able to grow without nets because I can only access my 5x5 from one door and I like to take them outside sometimes for a bath or transplanting
