how How to ensure color consistency between AIIllustrator, InDesign and printer using 4 color printing?

I am making a catalog that will be printed by using four color process printing. The catalog is created in InDesign and the catalog is full of vector images created in Illustrator. Can someone please help me with the following questions?

  1. Should I use spot color or process color to color the vector images in AI that willto work best with four color printing?

  2. What is the best way to place the AI vector images into IndesignInDesign? The current method I am using is exporting vectorthe vectors as pdfPDF files and then "Place" them in InDesign. Is this ok? Does exporting vector images as PDF alter the images' colors at all?

Thank you! Any help would be appreciated! Shayna
