I would want lighting. Can someone point me to some good info on LED lights?

I've never put light in my viv. I bet something like rope light might work. Others can provide more insight.

I get mine from Reptile Basics. Top notch in my book.

Would each unit need its own thermostat or can I control it all on one?

If each heating element is the same and used in an identical viv then yes you can. However, you can't run 4" and 11" flexwatt off the same t-stat as they have different power requirements. You also wouldn't want to run 11" flexwatt in a small viv and 11" flexwatt in a large open viv as even though they're 11", due to the differences in the vivs, they'll need different operation.
But if they are identical heating elements in identical set ups, then yes you can use just one t-stat.

Is it ok to plan all the individual vivs to adult corn standards even if they may at somepoint house hatchlings? Or should I do a hatchling unit and an adult unit?

I generally don't recommend housing hatchlings in a large tank/viv. I start out with deli cups, then large ziploc storage containers, then 12 qt tubs, then finally adult tubs.
I would do separate units. One for adults, and one for hatchlings. It will probably be better in the long run doing it that way.
