How to Audio Mix Multiple Speakers

Question

I'm editing a project that is an interview with 3 separate speakers, each with their own Lavalier audio tracks, along with a in-camera audio track. There were 3 cameras running as well, a wide, CU of 2 interviewees and a CU of the interviewer. I will list below which camera has which audio tracks:

CU of 2 interviewees: 2 Lav inputs from each speaker

CU of the interviewer: 1 Lav Track

Wide: internal camera audio

I hope you can digest that info haha. My question is, what would be the best way to mix these audio tracks? I could just chop the audio so only the speaker present would have an audio track in the timeline, that's what my first assumption would be. Is there a better way of doing this?

P.S.

I'm going to create a multi-cam sequence, so I'm not sure if this will make the process more efficient or more confusing.

The traditional way we used to do for broadcast is the leave the interviewer's mic up all the time and have the others at about -10 to-20db and push them up when speaking. This can be done in the track mixer and is a lot easier if you have a fader control surface.
