Serving imagery with ArcGiS for Server?

[المشرف العام]

I have just updated my ArcGIS Server environment from ArcGIS Server 10.0 to ArcGIS for Server 10.3.1. I am wondering what methods should be used to serve our relatively large amount of image data to clients in my organization. We have installed ArcGIS server on Windows 2012 Server. For the data we have a separate Windows 2012 Server with 16Gb Ram. My Project area is 1800km². We have around 20 years of imagery which we will serve in 20 separate services so that each year can be displayed as a layer in the client software.

Some images are in ECW Format and cover the whole area in one file. Other Images are in TIF and have been georeferenced and are in TIF format in a directory. Others were in an SDE 9.3 mssql database and must be exported. So in ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 I have the opportunity to either;

For single images:

1. Serve a TIF file directly as Image Service
2. Import into FGDB as Geodatabase Raster and serve directly as Image Service

For many single images:

1. Import into FGDB managed RasterCatalog and load into mxd project and serve the mxd as a MapService
2. Reference into unmanaged RasterCatalog and load into mxd project and serve the mxd as a MapService
3. Reference into unmanaged RasterCatalog and then use a referenced ImageMosaic to serve as a ImageService
4. Import into ImageMosaic and serve directly as a ImageService

I update my imagery only once a year so I don´t have to constantly import new images. My major concern is performance and speed.
