Drupal node selector strategy?

Question

I've got a content type called "contact". One user can create hundreds of contacts. I need another list of contacts stored somewhere else. Options:

1. Use a view
2. Create a new content type called "contacts" (with an s) and add a selector or node reference so you can just tick the nodes you like.

2 sounds like the best option to me, but I want to be able to have a better way of physically selecting the contact, as a user can have hundreds and maybe even thousands of contacts. So, my question really boils down to:

1. What's the nicest way (using drupal) that I can allow a user to select several nodes (but technically one at a time)
2. Is there a way to add a "SELECT ALL" checkbox to a normal select list cck in drupal?
