This is a it depends answer. Some factors in play:

1) Number of users over say a 24 hour period.

2) The size of the CSV files.

3) Is the data merge a one time thing or can it be repeated in a time 
period.

4) Are users going to be repeat customers?

For this sort of thing I write out a detailed outline of the 
who/what/why/where/when. In doing that answers tend to follow.
