How should I be doing stone tiles for multiple objects.

So my question is I want to make a bunch of stone castle structures. Some square, others circular towers. Here's an example Im working on 






Would it be better to just create a few stone wall tiles like 2 or 3 variations and just use those instead of making the stone structures and sculpting them each in Zbrush.

Or could I just bake these buildings and add the variation to the textures via substance painter?

Either way would love some suggestions, Thanks!

I'd suggest making a tiled sculpt and extracting textures. Then use modular design to reuse parts. Many articles here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments

Plus you can add localized variation with texture blending
