Dear Satishss,
Migrating the legacy data to SAP should always be a cautious process.
Folling  is my reply for your queries.
1) Here currently customer is using pdf, doc, cad extension files dwg, and excel only, I feel only one document type will be enough or any thoughts on this please suggest.
That may not be true completely. Here as a functional consultant you have to decide or guide client how many document tyes are needed. There is no thumb rule.
2) Should we maintain separate server for storing all the DIR related data, I feel yes. I feel we should use content server and then link the same to permanent storage area in server and i need to tell this to basis guy. If anything more i need to ask please guide me on this.
Here you need to install the content server.Offcourse content server is installed by Basiis. But prior to that we need to do the sizing of content server.Based on which client will procure the hardware for CS.
3) Which one is the best LSMW or BDC for mass upload and will this automatically link to the material master and other objects.
Just discuss with your ABAP consultant. I used BAPI method. I created A report using "BAPI_DOCUMENT)CREAT2"
With Warm Regards
