I actually never tried throwing one together because I thought it would be a nightmare, but it turns out it wasn't! Should be a singles doc available now.
As far as solo play goes, either of those would be fine, though I tend to lean toward single character myself. If you go that route, I tend to prefer a character that can have at least 1 follower, and you might want to roll for gang size with disadvantage so you're not getting too swarmed at level 1!
