How Do You Set Up Your Timeline? Audio Elements for Documentary

I'm starting work on my first documentary (30 minutes) which I hope to sell for broadcast.


I'm used to editing for broadcast news, and the channel I freelance for has a rulebook for audio element positioning:


Channel 1: track and English translations of SOTs ONLY (left channel only)
Channel 2: all original language SOTs (English or otherwise), PTC/standup, natsound – i.e. everything else. (right channel only)


I send them split track, the editors there adjust and do the final mix.


However, as I'll be delivering the doc complete (hopefully) I might need a different set up for audio tracks.


Any advice on how to set up my timeline?
 
I would work any way that you are familiar/comfortable with. If you're doing all of the editing, work in a way that you are familiar with.

BTW, I'm hip to "SOT" ("Sound On Tape"), but what do you mean by "PTC" (looks like you mean on-camera talent, but I can't figure the acronym)?
