If I am creating a scene where I would have duplicates of an object (screws and bolts for example) would creating an Instance of the main bolt/screw be the best way to make duplicates yet keep the scene from getting heavy?

Please correct me with an alternative if I am wrong.

Cheers

Yup, instances will take up less disk space in the max file, take up less ram, and in some renderers may help memory issues while rendering as well. Viewport speed will be about the same though either with instances or copies.
