i guess i will use one db for every 5-6 blogs or so, and thus a total of about 5-6 db's for my project...

Did you really want advice on which is the best way or did you want someone to tell you what you were already thinking?
You asked advice on the "Best" way to handle these blogs, but by your reply here it seems you were really seeking validation for the method you already had in mind.
The "Best" way to handle them depends on what you plan to do with them in the future.
One DB can be dangerous.
Separate DB's provide more flexibility and protection in the event of any failures.
Server DB's and Wordpress installs are so easy to do and almost fully automated, I would not do it any other way just for the protection it brings.
Also, on any website network, having different class C Ip's for each domain is a good idea. Many dedicated hosting companies can offer you a range of Class C IPs. You should check into it. It will give your network more credibility with SE's.
