I have a problem deciding how to set my products and need some advice.

I have two types of basic products:
The products in the first category are unique. Each single product has different attributes (color, weight, etc.). I think I can I create each one as a different simple product with its own SKU.
The products in the second category on the other hand have no limited amount. I can create them on order. (does this mean a “virtual product?”)

The problem is that a complete product is a combination of both. I have to take one product of each category so if I have 50 products in each category I have 50×50 unique products, with the important limitation that each product of the first category must not be sold more than once.
