Generally In this type scenario you need to work with content type. Reason is anytime in the future if you want to add more column or add extra functionality then you need to update only content type not every list
Best practice is worked with content typeRahul Sharma -------------------------- Coding is all about passion !!!!!!

HI,
You can do it in many ways:
1. Create a document library and then if you do not want to use content types then create all the columns.
2. Now based on the other document libraries you have create views and use columns in the same way.
3. Now using explorer view you can copy down the documents.
You can also do this by creating content types as defined in other post.
I hope this will help you out.
Thanks,
