long speaker cable run or long balanced IC ??

I am setting up a new system and deciding on placement of equipment. I will have most of my equipment (source, preamp) in a rack on the side wall. I will be using balanced interconnects. I am wondering what is better: keep amps on the stand on the side wall and have longer speaker runs or put the amp closer to the speakers on the front wall and have longer IC runs. Also, is it critical/important to have all cables the same length ?

All very helpful.

I will most likely me driving aerial lr5 ( power hungry) with a wyred4sound preamplifier (80-113 ohm output impedance). Amps will most likely be wyred4sound high powered mono blocks (sx-1000)

While I realize the speakers are a rough load, not sure if this is considered high or low output impendence for the pre.

Seems like the short speaker cables make the most sense.
