Balanced cables
Just because you have XLR inputs and outputs on a piece of equipment does not mean you are running in true balance. Check with the maker of the equipment to see if they are true balance from input to output. If they are then i feel the XLR balance... 
Audioquest or Transparent?
I think Transparent cables once you get into Reference level of MM2 or higher or newer Gen 5 is a very nice cable. Below the Reference line is not bad, but you can get equal or close to it for less money.

mac48025I am not familiar with your Wywire Power Broker. Putting them on  the 20 amp line i feel would be best. I have 21 MC O5s on one 20 amp line using 2 types of the 3 to 1 splitters. It sticks out14 inches from the wall. I have the same set up...
