Fastest Way To import???

    From my experience the fastes way would be using BCP with indexes of the target table disabled (unless the source file is already in the right order or there are already data in the table and you need to check for identity). Having the database in simple recovery mode (if that's possible in your scenario) would also speed the import up since it would reduce logging.
