Installing Dedicated Lines.... Need advise

Ok I plan to run two dedicated lines of Romex 10/2 wire about 60' each. One will be for my Receiver and Rotel sub amp. And the other for all my digital.

Question one: Should I say.. put the analog plug to one side of my sound stage, and the digital to the other side, that way the amp wires will be seprated by like 6' or so. Or is it ok to run them all to the same area?

Question two: I plan to use a Maestro socket for the amps, is it ok to go with a simpler Porterhouse for the digital?

And last, if money is an issue, would you run say Home Depot Romex 10/2 to the digital, and use VH Audio 10 on the amps?

Ok thanks all. I have bought all my materials, and plan to run them today. I got Romex 10/2 wire, A MIT Power Z outlet for the TV and Cable Box, Two Maestro outlets, for the amps, CD player, and Bluray. And Last I ordered 5 Porterhouses, for other components, and places we use other electronics.

Now I am in search of what Power cords to use. My budget system is this.

Cambridge Audio 640R Reciever
Rotel RB-9808BX amp to run un-powered VMPS sub
Usher CD-100 CD Player
Axiom Audio speakers 5.1

Ok, after a lot of reading I went with Shunyata Venom 3's. Hope this is a good choice.

Ok so the project is done. I did run two lines of 10/2 to my equipment. I used the Maestro outlets for the Receiver, sub amp, CD player, and BluRay. I used a MIT Z Duplex for the cable box and TV. I used Silflex Glass Toslinks, and Shunyata Venom 3 power wires. And last Canare 4s11 speaker wire. I upgraded my mains from Axiom M22's to Swan 5.2F's.

All in All I have run everything for about 80 hours, and its Amazing. Better yet even the wife notices a difference. :-)
